Theatrical

The horror/suspense movies receiving a wide release in 2010 might not have provided any obvious all-time classics, but it was a very consistent slate throughout the year, with solid genre offerings from January through December. (For the purposes of this list, I'm defining "wide" as 500-plus screens.)

Daybreakers (2009)

Part horror, part wham-bam action pic, Daybreakers manages to deliver popcorn thrills while also imparting insightful commentary on everything from natural resources to class conflict, making the sort of bold statements within a vampire mythology that George Romero has done so often with zombies.

Splice

This modern Frankenstein tale brings the classic mad scientist scenario into the cloning age with intelligence and genuine emotion uncommon in most genre movies today.

Direct-to-Video/Limited Release

If you wanted to see the best horror movies in 2010, you should have avoided the multiplexes in favor of smaller theaters playing limited releases and video stores stocking straight-to-video fright flicks. Here are the best of that bunch. (For the purposes of this list, I'm defining "limited" as less than 500 screens.)
