‘Bloody Tennis’ Exclusive Clip Serves Up a Nasty Toe Injury Ahead of Shudder Premiere

EXCLUSIVE: Winning comes at a painful price in Bloody Tennis, and our exclusive clip offers a nasty little preview of just how far its protagonist will push herself.

The film arrives on Shudder September 25, and Dread Central is serving up a scene that drops us into an intense tennis match interrupted by a gruesome toe injury. For Sophie, however, stopping doesn’t seem to be an option.

You can practically feel this one through the screen. Whatever else this academy has in store for her, this clip suggests we’re in for a pretty uncomfortable watch.

Written and directed by Nikias Chryssos, Bloody Tennis follows Sophie after she’s admitted to an elite tennis academy tucked away in southern Europe. Fierce competition gives way to something more sinister, forcing her to weigh her ambitions against her relationships—and her ability to care about anyone else.

The film mixes the pressures of elite sport with trippy hallucinations, grotesque humor, and blood-sucking leeches. Apparently, destroying your feet is only the beginning.

The cast includes Sandra Guldberg Kampp, Elina Löwensohn, Tracy Gotoas, Helena Zengel, Zlatko Burić, Lily Taïeb, Juliana Vieira Guerra, Lucie Zhang, and Vincent Romeo.
