Leonard Maltin is pretty much a joke within the critic community. And no, mainstream critics will very rarely recognize outstanding performances in a horror film. Horror is such a ghettoized genre that most critics don't want to commend it too much, for fear of losing their credibility.
Performances that I personally found fantastic:
Bill Paxton in Frailty
Koji Yakusho in Cure
Choi Min-Sik in Oldboy
Sam Neill in... well, everything.
