And the "foreign horror for U.S. audiences" is usually not up to par with the original ....case in point "The Vanishing"
although I didn't hate "The Grudge" or "Let Me In" |

The Grudge was pretty good. I also greatly enjoyed The Ring (2002), despite not seeing Ringu (1998).

I think The Crazies(2010) and The Thing(1982) were better than their predecessors.
Some other good remakes not surpassing the originals are TCM (2003), The Omen(2006), and Fright Night (2011).

I agree with you on The Crazies (Like i said before) but The Thing From Another World is a classic and i wouldn't say that the remake was better. However the remake was also fantastic. When it comes to those two, i'm not sure which i like better. I like them both in different ways.

I also greatly enjoyed Thirteen Ghosts (2001). I was surprised by how many people hated that movie because I acctually thought the story and acting were great. Additionally, I thought the special effects were brilliant. Despite all the good aspects of the film, it only holds like a %12 apporoval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I find that highly unusual. I realize the original was a great film by William Castle, but the remake was still really high-quality in my opinion (despite negative reaction).
