Deadly Movies previews the best upcoming horror, sci-fi, creature, and monster movies of 2011.

2010 was a fairly strong year for horror; Indie film-makers and new ideas provided us with the most memorable moments.

Movies like 'A Nightmare on Elm Street', 'SAW 3D',...

5th August 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree

 Sylvester Stallone's 'The Expendables' is a celebration of two things; the action movie genre (specifically the films made famous in the 1980s) and extreme masculinity. And you won't get an apology for either. Stallone is of course famous for two such iconic Hollywood man-heroes, Rocky Balboa and John Rambo. '

The Expendables' is less an attempt to invent (or reinvent) a new icon, but rather to bring together an ensemble cast...

The Movie

The biggest, most successful sequential horror franchise of the past 20 years roles on to entry number six. Sequential is an apt term indeed for the SAW franchise. The franchise bares a passing resemblance to slick, high budget, episodical US TV shows like CSI, except of course for the vivid violence and lovingly gratuitous scenes of torture.
