I agree. There's a reason they never gave it an appearance in the movies. I was honestly very disappointed that the TV show gave these characters an appearance, since it kind of ruined what made them so scary and mysterious. I mean, come on, 1:36 it looks like it's about to eat you!

In fact, I think the only thing in the film that's as scary as these dragons was Drago Bludvist in the sequel. Drago recieved a lot of criticism because he was "one-dimensional" and wasn't fully explored as a character but, much like these unseen dragons, that was why he was so intimidating and scary. Just look at this flashback scene. Spoilers if you haven't seen it.

Much like the book reading, the dark light and shadows create an unnerving, mysterious atmosphere with the character. He's built up as this huge threat throughout the first half and when he finally appears in person his cruelty and danger feels 100% real.
