I'm not a huge gore hound (though I do enjoy fair amounts of gore in horror films) but this one lacked it and I think that hurt it a lot IMO as the first two Scream's had quite a lot of blood and the death scenes (besides the first two) didn't really have a lot of it and didn't feel as tense or effective as the kills in the earlier films. Ghostface just seemed to run up to them stab them in the back or stomach/chest once and run away, anyone else feel the same way?
note: I did like the film just not as much as the first two.
