SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

HansWind Nifty little combination ghost story / teen slasher film. The storyline isn't unique, but it has enough twists, turns and odd angles to keep you watching.The main characters are better fleshed out than in most films of this type while the supporting characters are functional and believable. Lou Diamond Phillips in a larger than cameo role lends some acting credence to an otherwise no name cast. Despite the lack of well known actors, the acting is a cut above the norm for the genre as is the overall writing.The film has its highs and lows, but for the most part it delivers what fans of ghost stories are looking for, though it might not have quite enough gore for the hard core slasher fan, but it has a little too much for a pure ghost story.Well worth the watch if you like the teen thriller, ghost story, bloody mystery genre. This film is an interesting mix that you don't often find.

Michael O'Keefe This is a low-budget flick that on the most part doesn't look low-budget. No real acting to speak of, but a story line that engrosses you. Melanie(Leah Pipes)returns home from a drug rehab stay to a small town that has been almost paralyzed due to a tragic accident that happened 50 years ago. Citizens stood helpless and watched a train plow into a school bus filled with their children. Melanie gets wrapped up in the legend of ghosts of the dead children being able to push a stalled car off of those same tracks. Can it be that this troubled teen can actually unlock the real reason of the terrible tragedy? Harry Basil directs this movie filmed in Guthrie and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Veteran actors Lou Diamond Phillips and Sally Kirkland are joined by Kristin Cavallari, Josh Henderson, Ben Hall and Sydnee Harlan.

bkoganbing Young Leah Pipes is fresh out of drug rehab and now moved into a new town where her parents and sister Kristin Cavallari have previously moved. There's a country legend connected with this small Texas town where a bus load of school kids were run down when their school bus got stuck on a railroad track. Or what was the real story, the secret that the town isn't crazy to get out even though this happened 40 years earlier.Because she nearly died of a drug overdose Pipes had a near death experience and one of the dead kids keeps trying to communicate with her. Of course her clueless parents think Pipes is still drugging, her mother Sally Kirkland is incredibly unsympathetic. For no apparent reason that I can see.The real story is quite a twist, but the story is poorly written with roles making no sense and why everyone is believing that poor Pipes is the cause of a lot of more recent tragedy makes no sense at all. Lou Diamond Phillips as a teacher/guidance counselor and Geoffrey Lewis as the former mayor of the town now the town drunk are wasted in their roles, especially Phillips whose whole character makes no sense to me.Josh Henderson the current John Ross Ewing on the revived Dallas is also here as a sympathetic boyfriend to Pipes and Andrew Lawrence of the Lawrence brothers of Philadelphia is the school bully who Pipes gives a bad case of blue gonads to. Also wasted.Fingerprints is a strange film which should have stuck to either being a ghost or a slasher flick. I would have preferred the ghost genre. There were elements of the classic Changeling here, but not well used.

ctomvelu1 Lou D. Phillip stars as a teacher who lives in a small town haunted by the memory of the sudden loss of a busload of children years before. A young woman (Leah Pipes) returns from rehab to her family home, only to encounter the ghost of a little girl who slowly leads her to the lost children and the reason for their disappearance. That part of the movie is OK, and follows modern ghost movie traditions. But some bright bulb apparently decided to also make this a slasher film, with big boobs on display and lots of blood-letting for the JASON and FREDDY crowd. Th slasher segments all tie into the missing children plot, but they were absolutely unnecessary and damn near ruined the movie. We know who the masked killer is way too early, too. Ignore the cheesy slasher scenes, some of which look like they were filmed and inserted as an afterthought, and focus on the ghost plot. You will be rewarded. The ending is a dilly.
