A good film with a great or potential premise or with an open ended finale doesn't have to have/need a sequel to explain or explore more, IMO.
I do see the point for the most of the film people like to talk about for a sequel but one of the main reasons that I think we love all those originals just because the way they are from start to finish. But that doesn't mean I hate sequels. There are plenty of sequels I enjoyed and although they were enjoyable but most of the cases they were unnecessary.
Now here's my "sequel" opinion about the films that V mentioned:
Shaun of the Dead - Yeah, a sequel would be fun too, I guess.
Grindhouse - Nope! Not interested.
Unbreakable - There is a high possibility for the sequel to become "Unbearable"!
Cloverfield - What?! They still haven't start filming the 2nd one?!!
Trick 'r Treat - Yup! I don't even mind for a franchise too.
In The Mouth Of Madness - No need.
The Mist - hummm. I'm not sure,,,
Burnt Offerings - Yeah, may be....then what about The Shining?
Dawn of the Dead (remake) - yeah...Doubtful.
The Thing - Please, No sequel!
The Craft - I need to see it again!
The Faculty - I liked it, it was okay...don't mind for a sequel.
Near Dark - Sure..Sure! Why not? But it'd better if they done a sequel in 80s.
Like to add some more...District 9, Freddy Vs Jason, A straight sequel of 2003 TCM remake, Dr. Phibes rises again, Eden Lake(!), Martyrs (with a sci-fi twist:D), Dog Soldiers, The Host (Korean), Teeth, Dead Silence & Eight Legged Freaks!
