Iconic rock guitarist Slash (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver) has launched a FanBacked fundraising page for his upcoming horror movie, The Hell Within.

The Hell Within follows a woman from New York on a quest into the heart of the Brazilian jungle to save a missing girl, only to discover that the child was just the beginning.

Marie and her husband David live a charmed life in Manhattan. He’s a successful environmental attorney and she’s built an international aid organization that helps families in need across South America. 

The only thing missing is a child. 

When they start receiving disturbing phone calls from Teresa, a young girl in Brazil pleading for help, Marie can’t shake the feeling these calls are connected to her charity. She convinces David to travel with her to Rio to locate the missing girl and soon a series of strange events and a shocking suicide lead them into the heart of the jungle.

Marie and David find themselves isolated in Seringal, a village overrun with drug runners and lost souls, steeped in ritual and superstition. And as David falls ill to a mysterious disease, Marie begins to realize that the missing child was only the beginning of The Hell Within.

"I love creepy, haunting stuff," says Slash. "I don't go for psycho movies really. But I love monsters and scares that are more cerebral. I love practical effects that make those monsters seem more real on screen.  When I read the script for The Hell Within, I knew it was the right project for my taste. It spoke to my horror sensibilities. And a story I know horror fans will dig as well."
