Those reasons you have listed are, I think, the exact reason for the popularity of the Asian stuff. Atmospheric, mostly ghostly revenge tales instead of gore, gore, and more gore. I like to refer to most of the 80's and 90's movies as, "look, I have boobies, touch them, AHHHHHHH! *blood, dismemberment, start again*". Not only that, but the Asian directors are shooting them with the same attention to cinematography as drama directors in the States do.
