When it's done well, revealing bits and pieces of the puzzle, having strong well developed characters you like/dislike and care about, then it works not showing the monster. (recently Se7en did that well. Of course john doe wasn't a non-human monster, but same concept)
If the above isn't done well, which of course starts with the story/script, then you have a sucky boring film.
Alien doesn't display the monster a lot, but does all the way through. That worked. Aliens had Aliens all the way through more or less. that worked.
There's not many monster movies these days. What's are examples of a non-human-speaking, non-human monster movies in the last 10 years (not counting Godzilla)?
