You won't be disappointed!

Wow! Such a good movie.

Perfectly adorable

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

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.

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.

"Fingerprints" is an all around mixed bag. Some brilliant moments of creepiness mixed with moments of complete Duh…At its heart is a ghost story. However, someone came up with the idea to make it a slasher film as well. While the paranormal elements tend to work well, the masked killer segments do not, partially to do with the fact that the killer's costume is laughable at best. The premise is quiet simple, if not clichéd. A small town with a big secret and tragic past. Enter a castaway to learn about, and then attempt to solve the mystery. One big problem that I had was with the flashback sequences. They seemed to really cheapen the film and story. A few flashbacks would suffice, but the movie tries to hurl them at you and make things more confusing and less entertaining. The acting is also a mixed garden salad. Plump full of ripe tomatoes and rotten prunes. I was pulled out of several scenes because of this and found it harder to concentrate on the plot. The main characters are well portrayed, particularly Leah Pipes as "Melanie" and Andrew Lawrence as 'Mitch". During the finale and reveal, things became quite rushed (budget issues?) and I was left a bit unsatisfied. However, everything is presented to you in a nice little package, so at least you understand the story.Not bad if you're looking for a ghost story. It may even be appealing to some slasher fans. It's a middle of the road type film, not really bad, but not really good either. I guess it all depends on what you're looking for. For me, it was half and half. So on a scale of 1 to 10, I'll give it an even 5… Right smack dab in the middle.

****SPOILERS****** I actually liked Fingerprints, which is why I'm writing the review -- so that someone might read what was wrong with it and do a better movie next time around. It was actually very creepy and had a plot that at least tried to make sense, and there were a couple of parts where I jumped. That's good, because I'm pretty hard to catch off guard.The movie had much potential which unfortunately was diminished by trying too hard to fit the "teen formula," at the expense of putting more thought into telling the story.First off, we have a teenage girl who takes her sister to a beer-guzzling party THE SAME DAY THE SISTER GETS OUT OF REHAB. What kind of sister would do that? Was there any reason for this other than to have the obligatory "teenagers getting drunk" party scene? Or the attempted rape -- was that really necessary? Couldn't we have shown that the guy was a real sh-t without it getting that far?Secondly, the breast-flashing was offensive to me, a straight female who loves horror but is sick of gratuitous nudity in horror films. Do film makers think that teenage boys are the only ones who pay to see their movies? It totally cheapened the movie, as did the graphic gore of the killings.Third, too many stock characters, or in this case caricatures. We have the bitchy cheerleaders, the bitch mom, the sister played by an actress who obviously has a modeling background but doesn't know how to move like a real person for the camera. Try making the people more real next time.Last, but not least, when you set up the audience with a horrible, mean, crazy mother like the one in this film, it's not enough to let us know at the end that she got sent off to a home somewhere. At least she should have received a slap in the face from one of the daughters at the end of the movie. If you're going to have villains, they should all meet some justice.As I said above, I really did like the movie and gave it an 8. How about someone trying a remake in a few years with some better scriptwriting....
