[edit] Synopsis

Fingerprints is based on an urban legend out of San Antonio that centers around a school bus full of children that was involved in a terrible accident with a train leaving all the children dead. According to the legend, if a driver stops his or her car, in neutral, on the same stretch of tracks now, the ghosts of the children will push it to a safe area. Some of the townspeople in the film even claim to have discovered fingerprints on the back of their cars after being pushed off the tracks (The writers of this film grew up in Texas around a similar legend).

The movie centers around a teenage girl (Pipes) who has just finished rehab. She moves-in with her sister (Cavallari), and they begin to investigate mysterious happenings occurring around their town possibly connected to the Texas legend.

[edit] Filming

Fingerprints was filmed in April and May of 2006 in two Oklahoma towns. Parts of the film center around Emerald High School that Cavallari attends in the fictional town of Emerald, Texas. All of these scenes were filmed inside the historic Harding High School building in Oklahoma City. In addition, scenes were filmed in the Heritage Hills neighborhood of Oklahoma City (another historic area), along with various other sites in Oklahoma City. Parts of the movie were filmed in the Stone Lion Inn in the town of Guthrie, an old hotel that is said to be haunted.
