Best & Worst ’10: Top 10 Horror Movie Trailers of 2010!

There really is no more effective form of movie advertising than the trailer, and putting a good one together probably isn’t as easy as it looks. In a mere two minutes the studio must boil down the film’s basic premise and provide audiences with enough visual and aural flash to compel them to cough up their hard-earned money to see it. With the barrage of movie trailers we see every year very few manage to get it quite right, but those that do are often more compelling than the movies themselves. To commemorate the year in film advertising, B-D’s Chris Eggertsen has sifted through the trailers released in 2010 to put together his list of the ten best – the truly memorable horror spots that made us sit up and take notice.

Best & Worst ’10: MICAH’S TOP 10 OF 2010

Since I watch an ungodly amount of horror (around 275 films viewed and reviewed so far in 2010), the bulk of which is DVD/Blu-rays, I opted to put together a list of the best films that had disc releases this year. What that means is you won’t see any films on this list that had a wide release (The Crazies, NOES) or didn’t have a disc release at all (Hatchet II), but you will see several films that had releases in other countries, appeared in festivals or limited engagements AND had a 2010 U.S. disc release.
