I would have showed it at all

See, I dont get this? if we were allowed to see all of the creature then the fear and chaos of it all would have vanished!!

For example: why was alien such a genre defining and ground breaking film? because of what we DON'T see, the fear of the dark that it might be hiding in the shadows, gives the imagine a massive workout! nothing on screen can make us feel fear more than what our imagination can conjure.

I am glad we see little and know little about the creature... its what makes the film 'feel' like it is a real event or even worse.... that it is happening to us almost!

When i was in the cinema watching Cloverfield, at times i felt that i was watching some kind of real event that occurred and we just see the tape that was lost, its an awesome idea [i know blair witch did it first]
