J. D.'s Revenge (1976) is a movie I recently watched for the first time in a long time on Prime. The storyline follows a man who decides to go on stage and be hypnotized while on a date with his long time girlfriend. When he awakes he notices something is very wrong with him and he seems to experience blackouts. During his blackouts a deceased pimp who was murdered takes his body over and starts investigating who killed him, why and then takes revenge...
This movie is directed by Arthur Marks (Friday Foster) and stars Glynn Turman (Cooley High), Louis Gossett Jr. (Iron Eagle), Joan Pringle (Original Sin), Earl Billings (American Splendor) and David McKnight (Under Siege).
This is an extremely underrated movie, in a Angel Heart kind of way. This film has everything you want - great flashes to meat hooks and a slaughterhouse for unexpected horror elements, topless sequences, longer than anticipated but well executed rape scenes, mirror transformations and unintended comedy (Daddy's conk reference). The acting is excellent and the attire, look and feel of the movie is well executed. There's some awkward voiceover scenes, but the end contains some worthwhile twists and turns that make up for it.
Overall this is a very smart and well put together picture that is worth your time. I would score this an 8/10 and strongly recommend it.
