Review – Fingerprints

This picture gets rolling with the old urban legend about a railroad crossing haunted by the ghosts of a school bus full of kids squashed there years before. Stop your car on the tracks, kill the engine, and small, spectral hands will slowly shove your vehicle to safety. If you put flour on the trunk and bumper, they’ll leave handprints behind. It might have been a decent enough start even after it was combined with a bunch of Afterschool Special moralizing about teens and substance abuse. But then out comes the railroad-themed serial killer, and the whole thing takes an abrupt turn for the mediocre from which it never recovers. Mildly amusing
