I know this review was posted quite a while ago, but I'd like to point out that there WAS a 'bucket' of blood.

It's in the part when his landlady comes in his apartment and he manages (with freakish strength) to hide the dead policeman above the door way before she gets in the room.

After she leaves, he puts down a pan to catch the blood dripping off his arm.

It doesn't last very long, but I believe that's the symbolism to the movie.
