Remake-a-palooza!

I was watching the Labor Day airing of the Star Wars trilogy on Spike and saw a trailer for a movie that looked very familiar. It was about a put upon young boy who is befriended by a young-ish vampire girl who is aided in her appetite for human blood by her male guardian. It was called Let Me In, an American re-make of the Swedish film Let the Right One In. The original is only 2 years old.
Gah first it was Death at a Funeral, who's British original was only a couple years old as well, and now this.
Are we so dumb that we can't watch a "foreign" film it has to be remade for an American audience?

EDIT: Hmmm....well played remake. Casting Elias Koteas in a role....well played.
