Fingerprints is a 2006 American supernatural slasher film directed by Harry Basil, and starring Leah Pipes, Kristin Cavallari and Josh Henderson. The film follows a teenager (Pipes) experiencing supernatural occurrences as an unknown assailant begins murdering the town's residents.
Plot
[edit]Fingerprints is based on an urban legend out of San Antonio,[1][2][3] Texas about a school bus full of children that was involved in a terrible accident with a train leaving all the children dead. The movie centers on a teenage girl, Melanie (Pipes), who has just finished rehab. She moves to her family's new home in the town of Emerald, where her father is a part of the crew constructing a highway over the old train tracks. Her sister, Crystal (Cavallari), tells her of the legend and she begins seeing the ghost of Julie, one of the dead children and becomes more and more involved in mysterious occurrences in the town.[4] Meanwhile, someone in a train conductor's uniform begins to murder the people around Melanie.
