I would have like to learn more about what happened to the previous owners and what transpired to cause the murder why and what happened to the twins. Each of the characters back stories would have been nice as well. The acting wasn't as good I thought it could of been. I like grade B horror that's why I'm so disappointed. It would've been great to know if the twins were the people inhabiting the land what happened to the guy who went to get help what the baby looked like. What became of April and the baby. The effects were good but the movie was lacking any story or reason for any of what transpired.

I watched this film for free on TUBI. After April (Augustine Frizzell) as a miscarriage, her husband Scott (Jason Skeen) buys a murder house where the killer(s) and the twins were never found. We did see an opening sequence from 15 years ago of a pregnant woman being pursued in the woods. April's floozy sister Susie (Katharine Franco) comes along as well as Scott's best friend Drew (J. D. Brown) who brings the party favors and hooks up with the sister. The Gibbon murder house needs some work so a couple of handy men show up to add to the kill total. They are being watched by a classic horror film "breather." Scott is a former punk rocker who now quotes Billy Joel. Susie snores like a "chainsaw" which doesn't work its way into the film.

The music during the killing scene was irritating. The dream scene was too long and the birth scene was disgusting and fake looking with a huge fake "V". It is a shame as I like the characters. I wish they did something with the ending.

Guide: F-word. Sex. Nudity (fake V, Augustine Frizzell or body double)

Some people hang around in a forest for no reason and then a hoot owl type person ( or so i assume) kills them. So... With a title like The Hoot Owl, what the hell were you expecting? The equivalence to The Godfather? The Empire Strikes Back? Oh! I'm so sorry it couldn't live up to those expectations. God! So..... Yes it is a tragedy but it was an entertainingly fun and happy tragedy. Great acting, great story, efficient and professionally directed.... every thing that The Hoot Owl is not. But if you watch this for the gore, then this will suffice. Particularly a scene where blood is gushing out a man's lady parts trying to birth a kid in graphic like fashion. Yummers! Anyways, I enjoyed this despite being a volcanic cesspool.
