El Infierno (English: Hell) is a 2010 Mexican black comedy crime film produced by Bandidos Films and directed by Luis Estrada, following the line of La ley de Herodes. A political satire about drug trafficking, organized crime and the Mexican drug war, the film received an NC-17 rating by the MPAA for "some graphic violence and explicit sexual content".
El Infierno enjoyed both critical and commercial success in Mexico and was nominated for the 25th Goya Awards for Best Spanish Language Foreign Film. The film has enjoyed a cult following, primarily by Mexican audiences.
The film's loosely related follow up, La dictadura perfecta (English: The Perfect Dictatorship), was released October 16, 2014, to generally positive reviews.
