Notice that all "counter-examples" Bob listed are campy, in-name-only "adaptations" very loosely based on the matter and mostly a result of the difficulty of getting Us made films into said countries. (Using Turkish Star Wars as an example is just bad, bad research).
On the flipside, all american "adaptations" are either verbatim movieola copies of the original, or manage to turn rather dark, or otherwise original films into mid-level dross by incorporating all the necessities that the average US moviegoer needs to feel good about himself.
Let The Right One In did not need a remake, especially not one two (?) years after the original. Neither does the Millenium trilogy.
America, if you must, must turn to other cultures and mythologies for inspiration and rape them beyond recognition, at least do it with something that is older than 5 years, you lazy shmucks.
