It’s late October and that means two things: the Twin Cities Film Festival is taking place and horror movies are being watched.
Both have been a focal point for MNFCA members, who’ve reviewed films shown at TCFF, such as “The Holdovers,” and have written about horror flicks new and old. They’ve also been keeping up with the latest releases.
Check out what the Alliance has been up to lately.
October is here and of course that means it’s time for horror movies.
Several MNFCA members are reviewing scary flicks both new and old. However, that’s not the only genre getting noticed. As usual Minnesota critics are taking a look at all types of movies and gearing up for this year’s Twin Cities Film Festival.

The summer movie season has wrapped up and several film festivals are now on deck.
As a result, members of the MNFCA used the last few weeks to review the final summer movies and several smaller releases. Many also published retrospective reviews of older films.
Here’s what the Alliance has been up to lately.
“Barbie” continued to dominate the box office over the last month but August still had plenty of other releases in cinemas.
The giant monster sequel “The Meg 2,” the comic book adaptation “Blue Beetle,” the vampire flick “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” and more all came out in theaters in the last several weeks. Members of the MNFCA were on hand to review those and many more.
