Glynn Turman, the guy from Cooley High, is living in New Orleans with his girlfriend when he becomes possessed by a gangster from the past bent on getting revenge for the murder of his sister and himself some 30 years ago. Hokey set up is actually done well, thanks to excellent location shooting in the Big Easy and a good performance by Turman. He gets to wear an old zoot suit and a coiffed hairdo when the gangster persona takes over. However, the film is cheapened by exploitative elements of graphic rape scenes and recurring images from a slaughterhouse.
