With the Academy Awards over and done with, it’s time for you to pick the very best of 2010’s genre fare. Horror took many forms in the movie world last year, and there was enough interesting stuff out there for us to really spread the wealth among the nominees. (As usual, we’re holding off on citing a few films, like HEARTLESS and RED WHITE & BLUE, until they receive wider U.S. disc exposure.)
