Why are people acting like this film is bloodless?

And I'm sorry, but nothing in Scream 2 was as bloody as the opening scene in Scream.

Maybe not, but the prevailing feel of Scream 2 was, overall, more violent/unsettling than the first one. This third is easier on the eyes though, because it's more conservative with the blood. I like the first movie a lot, cause it sets up the story. But, I could have done without the graphic image of Drew Barrymore's death in the opening scene and I could have done without the over-the-top craziness of the killers near the end---stabbing each-other FOR FUN?!

Movies like Scream can be made without that excess, just take Hitchcock's PSYCHO as an example. But, those scenes aside, it's a great movie-mystery, and for that, a favorite, same with Scream 3. Scream 2 though, it was just too eerie for me. I didn't care nearly as much for it. In fact, I was rather disappointed by it, because it took a definite more somber tone that I did not appreciate.

My least favorite thing about Scream 3 though, was the mother/ghostly scenes---because that's much more terrifying than a masked killer that can at least be caught!

Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize!
