If you ignore all warnings and decide to search for a torrent, understand what you are actually getting. Most torrents labeled are encoded from the Grindhouse Releasing Blu-Ray. They range from 1.5GB (compressed) to 18GB (remux).

The best way to see the film is the Grindhouse Releasing Blu-Ray (Region A) or the Alan Young Pictures releases. These are fully uncut regarding the human violence, but they offer a "Animal Cruelty Free" version. Grindhouse includes a disclaimer before the animal scenes and provides a version edited specifically for viewers who do not want to see real death.

This is not The Texas Chain Saw Massacre or A Serbian Film . This is a movie where the director literally threw a spear at a live pig to get a reaction shot from the actors. It is a documentary of cruelty wrapped in a fiction of cannibalism.

The film was originally confiscated in Italy because Deodato couldn't prove the actors were still alive (he had signed a contract with them to disappear for a year). Once the actors appeared on a TV show, the murder charges were dropped, but the obscenity charges regarding the animals stuck.

The plot follows a professor (Harold Monroe) who travels to the Amazon rainforest to find a missing documentary crew. He recovers their footage, and the second half of the film shows the crew’s descent into madness: they stage scripted raids on indigenous tribes, burn huts, and commit sexual violence—all for the sake of "good television."
