Good beginning become total clap trap by the end

The beginning of this film had me very intrigued. The whole opening with the crows and the rusty killer's truck was great. Though I did have a problem with the part where the kid slides down into the killer's lair. He had just seen the killer dump a body into the same pipe and drive off and yet when he falls in he doesn't land on them (as he should) and the body is neatly layed up on a table (who the hell moved it?). The lair itself was very creepy and gave a feeling of dread as you realize this killer has been doing this for decades at the very least. But then they get to town and the whole movie turns to crap when the goofy psychic is introduced. "I keep hearing this song while one of you is screaming (hey dumb psychic was it a male scream or a female one, they vary quite a bit). He wants one of you but I don't know which one. Then the killer turns out to be some creature with demon wings who eats parts of people to repair himself? What? How the hell does that work? He eats a heart, chewing it and everything and somehow it works perfectly when it arrives in his chest? Here's an idea, when writing a horror story remember to put some damn realism into your cheesy plot. It makes it easier to suspend disbelief if there is a feeling that it could be real.

I'm not going to go all into it but other than the first 10-15 minutes I hated this film. The whole concept of the creature became totally idiotic by the time it was totally explained. And the ending... ergh... why would this creature carve out the entire back of the skull and remove the brain if he only wanted the eyes? Oh, he wouldn't. The director just wanted the creature to look through the face like a mask for the end scene is all. It makes no sense and is totally idiotic. I don't care what anyone else says this movie is a total dung pile. Not waiting for anything more by this nobody of a director.
