J.D.'s Revenge Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Once we figure out this basic situation, we're on familiar ground; diabolical possessions are as commonplace in the movies these days as love scenes used to be. But J.D.'s Revenge adds a couple of twists.
Apollo Guide
Scott Weinberg
Despite a few entertaining moments and some strong performances, there's very little about this urban thriller that's worthy of mention.
Dread Central
Anthony Arrigo
Satisfies fans of both horror and blaxploitation, and it is a rarity in both genres because of the unique subject matter.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
True, it's as viciously misogynistic as any of its brethren. But J.D.'s Revenge features a dynamic performance from Turman and is technically and narratively superior to other horror items in the Blaxploitation pool
TheIndependentCritic.com
Richard Propes
One of the lesser known of the Blaxploitation/horror flicks.
Medium Popcorn
Justin Brown
Regardless of how crazy this film was, it draws you in and was very entertaining. There are some problematic elements in this but unfortunately it's par for the course in this genre.
Medium Popcorn
Brandon Collins
There's some memorable scenes and performances that still stand out 40+ years later. The movie as a whole is a mess but it's so wild that it keeps you engaged throughout.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
As usual, blood flows freely and gratuitously, but you could do worse.
The Barb (Atlanta)
Steve Warren
The picture is standard blaxploitation fare, heavy on the blood, but Turman makes it worth seeing.
