Absolutely fucking not. The human imagination is more vivid than what can be depicted on the screen because if a situation is horrifying enough, the person will translate what happens off-screen into something that horrifies them, not what the director thinks is horrifying.
In most cases, violence and socially unacceptable behavior is there gratuitously and the story would be better filled by leaving it up to the audience. Now, there are cases where super-violence has been well-done and driven the point home but these examples are usually few and far between.
