Shudder has released a trailer for ‘Bloody Tennis’, a film that looks like ‘Black Swan’ meets the ultra-competitive world of tennis.
Never underestimate your hunger to win.
Shudder has released a trailer for the Black Swan meets tennis horror film, Bloody Tennis, and it looks bloody intense.
The film takes the world of elite sports to disturbing new extremes. After being admitted to an elite tennis academy hidden deep in Southern Europe, Sophie (Sandra Guldberg Kampp) must contend not only with the fierce brutality of her teammates, but with the school’s increasingly sinister undercurrents, where competitive sports are taken to their painful limits, and only the hungriest survive.
The trailer vaguely reminds me of Raw as well as Black Swan. In it, we watch Sophie get sucked deeper and deeper into the ultra-competitive world of tennis, taking that competitiveness to the ultimate level of a life-and-death competition. Along the way, she uncovers a side of herself she didn’t know existed…and it’s hungry. There’s tons of blood, determination, rage, and it looks like a total blast.
Bloody Tennis stars also Helena Zengel (News of the World, The Legend of Ochi), Tracy Gotoas (Safe House), Lucie Zhang (Paris, 13th District), Lily Taieb (The French Dispatch, Bergman Island), Elina Löwensohn (Schindler’s List), and Zlatko Burić (Triangle of Sadness).
Nikias Chryssos wrote/directed the film.
The score is composed by Jim Williams (Titane, Raw, Possessor).
“Bloody Tennis serves up an unexpectedly wild ride that will keep viewers exhilarated from start to finish,” said Adam Koehler, Director of Acquisitions and Productions at IFC Entertainment Group. “Distinctive, elegant, and gleefully offbeat, it’s exactly the kind of bold, boundary-pushing horror we strive to champion at Shudder. We’re thrilled to give this unforgettable film a home on our platform.”
