Buried in Barstow

The last frame of this movie says, "To be continued." No mention of this was made in the movie description, and no indication was given as to when a sequel might drop. Had I known this in advance, I would not have watched the movie, which is probably why the lack of an ending was kept hidden. After much searching, I found one report that said three more sequels are planned to finish the story -- assuming people live that long.

That about sums up my disappointment with this production. What is captured by the camera does contain some artistic quality, but in the end it is a story without an ending. This film would have been more compelling if it has been produced as a limited series.

Very interesting storyline, but unfortunately events in the movie are not resolved at the end. Several loose ends and a cliffhanger. Apparently, there are additional installments to be filmed. I suspect COVID probably slowed production down, as this seems to have been filmed during the early part of the epidemic.

As others have pointed out, it's not really filmed in Barstow, CA. However, it was filmed at a real restaurant, and it really is called Bridges BBQ. It's in Shelby, North Carolina. If you are ever in that area, it's well worth a visit! I have family in the area and we've eaten there since 1968. Good western NC barbecue.

I almost didn't see this little gem from thinking all the high ratings and reviews - for a Lifetime movie, were bogus. The trailer was what made me curious enough to watch it, and I'm glad I did. Certainly not what I expected, this was way better than any B films I've seen lately. Sure it had some Lifetime cheesy attempts at humor like the three dudes and their constant repetitive and annoying requests, but the story was surprisingly suspenseful and entertaining with non-stop thrills. The film got better and better as it progressed, especially towards the end that was just sensory overload. Talk about ending on so many cliffhangers, how was there even any question that the audience would want more. It's a shame we'll have to wait since part two hasn't even started filming. All casting and performances were spot on. The score and cinematography were great. Can't wait for part two. A well deserved 8/10 from me.

This is a good flick for Lifetime, but what the movie really is is a Harmon flick. She carries this film and after the movie's ending you will be left wanting more of this bad-ass woman. So, that's all I'll say because there are plenty more reviews and mine is simply to say, watch it! I'm sure there will be a follow-up and plenty of room for a prequel.

For a change just watched a "Lifetime" original movie this one "Buried in Barstow" which featured Hazel King(nice to see some work from Angie Harmon) a woman who's had a checkered past it's no ordinary life! Now Hazel has retreated to a small California desert town running a local diner with her daughter. And protection of the two is first thing yet as in life the past is complex and hard to run from. This for a TV movie was drama filled and a thrill. When characters from Hazel's past resurface she gets tough and does kick butt action! The drama and tension is felt. The movie has twists and turns and ends asking for more overall a fine watch for a TV movie and a must for any Angie Harmon fan.
