Buried in Barstow Review
The thrilling story shows some flashback scenes when Hazel was just 15 and her career ended up with her pregnancy with Joy. Angie has played the main role extremely well along with Polaha who is already talented since the release of Mystery 101 but this time Angie has won our hearts. Her complex character is just amazing and the skeletons scene blows our mind. The mother and daughter are excellent in their roles and so as other supporting characters. This movie is now streaming on Lifetime Channel.
