Hellish Flesh (original title: Inferno Carnal) is a 1977 Brazilian horror film by Brazilian film director/actor José Mojica Marins. Marins is also known by his alter ego Zé do Caixão (in English, Coffin Joe).

Dr. George Medeiros is a brilliant scientist who does not find time for beautiful wife Rachel. She falls in love with Oliver, the best friend of her husband, and soon after the two plan to kill George and inherit his fortune. Benefiting from the distraction of her husband in the laboratory, Raquel throws acid on George's face, disfiguring it. As he recovers in the hospital, Raquel and Oliver spend all his money. After months in the hospital, Dr. George comes home with a plan for revenge in mind. The film is an adaptation of the segment The Law of Talião from Marins' film The Strange World of Coffin Joe.
