I heard that this movie has a variable frame rate. Is that true?
Is Freddy Krueger still alive at the end of the movie? Is he alive now?

That's a good point. I don't follow specific movie critics so I don't know how the industry works currently, but I would imagine that a lot of critics only review movies that align with ther personal social media brand. The critics who would hate Terrifier 2 probably aren't reviewing it at all, because they know that their social media followers only want to hear about dramas or something. Media has become so broad and niche-focused now that there's probably no need for there to be critics who cover all types of movies. (That's just my guess, I don't actually know what I'm talking about lol)
I think movies about the "evils of men" can be done well in a non-preachy way. For example, I thought The Invisible Man was good because it portrayed a specific type of abusive guy, without criticizing men as a whole (if I'm remembering correctly)
The movie "Men" was pretty bad IMO because it was literally about how all men are the same and they're all shitty. There wasn't any nuance to its message.
Another example from this year would be Barbarian, particularly in regards to the subplot of the maybe-rapist guy. I didn't really know what to make of that to be honest. The movie definitely seemed to have feminist themes but I couldn't really tell what the point was.
I've thought about this too. If Terrifier 2 (the exact same movie, no changes) was released in 2005 then it would have gotten like a 40% on RT, and critics would have criticized how mean spirited and pointless the violence is. But nowadays critics seem to "get" horror a lot more than they used to for some reason. Maybe the rise of artsy horror has made critics more willing to praise non-artsy horror movies too.
No, changing the frame rate would be like turning the "motion smoothing" effect on a TV on and off. So some scenes look normal and other scenes have smoother motion like a soap opera. Here's an example: https://youtu.be/9hVEaW0yHiw
