There's no viewer imagination in THC films as far as I'm concerned; it's all there onscreen. I was intrigued by the look of the 2nd film and the different approach it took but I just got bored amidst all the nastiness. I'm similarly intrigued by the idea of an American-style widescreen film for the third but, y'know, once bitten and all that...
Totally agree. Wish more horror films nowadays had something more deep to say like the Babadook.
