In 1942 New Orleans black gangster JD Walker shots and kills his lover and is then killed himself. The film flash forwards to present day New Orleans (well, 1976 anyway) where the docile law student Isaac (Glynn Turman) is possessed by the spirit of JD. He begins to act out violently; driving his taxi customers around the street in an effort to hurt them and beating up his girlfriend. He also develops a strange fascination with corrupt preacher Elijah Bliss (Louis Gossett, Jr.), who has a history he'd rather his parishioners not know.
"JD's Revenge" is a very cool little combo blaxploitation horror flick. Glynn Turman does a wonderful job in his duel roll, I particularly enjoyed is wonderfully over the top performance as JD. It's also great fun to see Louis Gossett, Jr. in this. The movie's horror elements are surprisingly effective and boosts a creepy score and several spooky scenes. The script is very good. It develops the characters very well and contains several memorable lines. Arthur Macks does a fine job is the director's chair holding all the many elements together. Overall JD's Revenge is a really enjoyable and creepy film.
