Leaving things to the imagination was a trait for most of the modern-era films (I think it started with Jaws). I am old school, and would love the monster hidden/obscured from view until the climax, when it is revealed and audiences get terrified YET marvel at it at the same time.
Revealing it rightaway takes a bit out of the surprise/marvel element, and the film needs to be really good to keep viewers attracted, IMO. One of the recent films did that well - The Host.
