Mangiati vivi! (1980), directed by Umberto Lenzi, uncut Severin remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original Italian theatrical dual mono, English dual mono dub, and English subtitles.
IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081112/
Video encoded in two-pass 15.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.
Note : When the term "Euro-sleaze" was coined, it was probably referring to something like this, a heady mix of cannibal film, sexploitation, and Jim Jones-style suicide cult in the jungle, starring Robert Kerman, of Cannibal Holocaust fame, and Janet Ågren, with Ivan Rassimov as a rape-obsessed cult leader who wields a snake blood covered dildo, Me Me Lai doing the role she basically always does in these films, as well as Mel Ferrer, Paola Senatore, and Fiamma Maglione. It's not good by any measure, but it does have a certain trainwreck quality to it, with a lot of involuntarily humorous moments.
Sheila is looking for her sister Diana, who disappeared in New Guinea. She teams up with Mark and they go into the jungle, where they encounter crocodiles, cannibals, and finally a cult lead by a charismatic madman named Jonas, who abuses and rapes his followers. There's some snake blood dildo rape, some decapitation, the obligatory animal cruelty, some more rape, before the survivors escape into the jungle, trying to also avoid the local cannibals, and some are indeed Eaten Alive!, while the cult sees the need to make the final sacrifice.
Not a great remaster, but probably also not great material to begin with. The colors are slightly wonky, and it's pretty soft, but otherwise looks kind of half reasonable. Both dual tracks are fine for what they are.

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “
hevk italian cannibal” for more films where you can eat human flesh, but don't try to put parmesan on seafood, “
hevk gore” for more gratuitous use of the color red, or “
hevk 80s” for more from the decade when filmmakers would do a lot to make a quick buck.
