J.D.'s Revenge 2001 Horror Movie Review

Outta the grave and into the ghetto comes the tortured spirit of a 1940’s tough-as-nails gangster who pries his way into the body of a hip and likable young soul brother (Glynn Turman, How Stella Got Her Groove Back). With terrifying twists and turns, this spine-tingling, “sharp, hip and offbeat” (Boxoffice) adventure delivers pure urban action excitement!  Ike (Turman) is having a night on the town when he volunteers to be part of a hypnotist’s nightclub act. But when thedemonic spirit of a long-dead gangster muscles its way into Ike’s mindall hell breaks loose! Calling himself J.D., Ike thinks he is the reincarnation of the murdered gangster as he launches a rampage of revenge to destroy those who did him in years ago. It seems no one can stop this killing machine until one of his soon-to-be-victims, a reformed hood turned preacher (Academy AwardÂ(r) winner* Lou Gossett), comes to the ghastly conclusion that if he hopes to survive, he must save Ike’s soul himself!  *1982: Supporting Actor, An Officer and a Gentleman
