NEAR DARK
The original FRIGHT NIGHT is great. Remake was decent, especially the scene of rescuing a female victim!
30 DAYS OF NIGHT
UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTION
THE NIGHT STALKER
LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is great. I actually refused to see the American remake, LET ME IN, for over a year, until I realized the girl from KICK-ASS! was in it. I really liked it, though it lacked the "cat attack" scene. They source the same book, so they are near identical in storyline. Certainly, the American version is no more necessary than THE GRUDGE, THE RING, QUARANTINE and every other American remake of foreign films. That doesn't make any of them bad, but they are copies.
