The story was very predictable: we know from the trailer that the boy will turn evil. So it's no surprise when he kills the chickens, then the waitress, then his uncle, then his dad. The only question mark was his mother, and whether she would kill him with a part from the spaceship. But when we see him let his mother reach the ship, we are fairly confident he's testing her loyalty (because he is too smart to let her do that, and too quick to make a mistake). They're setting up for a sequel with that ending, but unless they're going to do something more interesting, I'm not interested in seeing it.

the ending, I didn't think it was necessarily setting up a sequel so much as parodying the typical superhero movie stinger, especially considering how it is framed like the much-derided scene in Batman v Superman where the rest of the Justice League are given rapid-fire introductions in a glorified clip show. It even has "Bad Guy" playing over the top to really layer on the irony of it all.
