The curb stomp scene in American History X is one of the most harrowing and effective displays of violence I have ever seen on a screen. And it was done without a single bit of gore. Millions of people looked away in horror and cringed because they didn't want to see something that was never actually shown.
Horror that is hinted at on film is always better than the alternative. That's why Spielberg's Duel and Jaws are great and Jaws 4 is a comedy. Same for the Jurassic Park franchise. More special effects don't mean more value or more shivers.
