But Lewis wasn't a big fan of Psycho, feeling that it cheated viewers by not showing the actual violence, just the aftermath, and developed the idea for Blood Feast, which would feature bathtubs of blood and gore.
All in all, I couldn't recommend this movie unless you just want to turn your brain off and watch pretty people run and jump in obviously fake environments, telling a story you already know.
Most of the troublesome racial/social politics of Disney's original cartoon are removed from this version of the story, as are most of the imperialism/colonialism/racism of Kipling's original.
The characters are strong, they have great chemistry, and there are genuine moments of tenderness and sadness mixed in with the vulgar humor and monster fighting.
