This is about as quiet a release week as you’ll see all year as far as horror/suspense goes, with only four relatively obscure direct-to-video films.

Take a deep breath, zombie fanboys; it’s apparently going to happen. Natalie Portman will fight zombies — though probably not in a Padmé Amidala midriff-baring white jumpsuit. She’s set to star in (and produce, alongside The Box‘s Richard Kelly, amongst others) the upcoming adaptation of the trendsetting “mashup” novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a spin on the Jane Austen classic that places the story in an alternate reality in which zombies (and apparently a ninja or two) roam the countryside. Portman will play the main protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet. No word on a release date, but since the actress is currently filming the thriller Black Swan and then seems to be committed to the superhero flick Thor, I wouldn’t expect PaPaZ until 2011.

A bunch of pics from some films we’ll (hopefully) see in 2010: Splice, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (both playing at Sundance), The Descent 2 and Cabin Fever 2 (both possibly direct-to-video).

2009 was a good year for horror and suspense movies — more so amongst smaller releases, but even with films that received a wide theatrical distribution, there were some entertaining offerings. Here are my choices for best wide theatrical horror movies of 2009.
