Are we supposed to root for the killer?

Warning: Spoilers
The father was such an arrogant POS in desperate need of anger management therapy and his enabling wife only fed his warped ego. As the film progressed I despised him more and more and wanted the psycho to kill him so his innocent little girls are spared being raised by him.

He drives way over the speed limit, tail gates cars on the highway placing his family in danger. You don't drive hazardous like that, especially with children in the back seat. I felt so sorry for those little girls.

Afterwards, he acts all bravado in the gas station actually striking the other driver multiple times and refuses to apologize for his nutty, arrogant behavior.

Everything this moron did placed his family in danger. And towards the end he shows what a coward he actually is when he flees the house from the killer leaving his family and even his parents inside.

He only thinks of himself and it was pitiful seeing him running around the yards like a scared little coward while his family was trapped in the house.

I wanted to badly to see the killer get him, but the movie cuts off before showing us what we've been waiting for. WHY?!

It's all I was looking forward to and the movie deprives me of the pleasure of seeing him get his comeuppance. When the killer told the little girls "This wasn't your doing, it was your Mom and Dad's", he was right. And you could see the girls agreed with him because they didn't alert the cops of his presence when he walked away.

I think the film wants us to root for the killer here, but if we're meant to hate the idiot father, why deprive us of seeing his demise in the end? It was a great suspenseful movie but I would've given an even higher rating for that treat!
