Cheeba touched on it, but remaking asian horror is hard because you're basically remaking a culture. It's hard to remake the feel of those movies because they're made in accordance to the ideals of that culture. Ju-On deals with the problems with family and the definition of "home" in Japanese culture. In comparison, "The Grudge" is about ghosts.
American audiences don't rely on that as much, most US audiences just want scares to jump out and punch us in the face. That's why its always weird to transfer... except The Ring (I felt) made a great transition to American audiences.
