Yes, I preferred that reading of the Swedish film too. I didn't even know it was based on a book till later (and honestly, the book sounds wicked OTT in ways that wouldn't work on film).
I'm not planning to see the American version particularly, but it strikes me kind of funny that they would cut the cat-lady stuff. I loved that part! How the cats all came up leaping and screaming, the villain in their midst obvious to them but not to anybody else.
