Weirdly, I though along similar lines for the whole 'Let the Right One In' and 'Let Me In' thing.
I saw the Swedish one first and just thought the Americans would massively nuts it up and make it shit for their version. Turns out it was quite good. Well, I thought the kids acting were excellent, if nothing else.

Oooh
Reminds me of 'Sporloos' or 'The Vanishing' there's a fucked up slow burner if ever I've seen one.
Pre-ninja: It's French/Dutch notSwiss Swedish, but you just made me think of it anyway. Films in original language anyday for me, up to and including Ju-On/Ringu. Fuck me they have some imagery that lurks in your subconscious for a long time afterwards, unlike hollywood gubbins that you yawn and forget.

I haven't seen either of those but probably should have.
In my defence, I do wank a lot so, you know...priorities.

Pfft
It is hard to pay attention to subtitles with double vision. No wonder the Channel 4 triangle thing didn't last long.

But where else would Steven Seagal peddle his wares.
Have you no HUMANISM! Poor Steve. At least let him think people are watching.

The day he can get through a line without having his failing fat encrusted heart giving him wind, I'll listen.
Also, I noticed that too. Why is it always Seagal films on 5?
