This sports academy has a racket that’s most unpleasant.
Shudder begins exclusively streaming BLOODY TENNIS this Friday, September 25. Written and directed by Nikias Chryssos, it stars Sandra Guldberg Kampp, Elina Löwensohn (NADJA), Tracy Gotoas, Helena Zengel, Zlatko Buric, Lily Taïeb, Juliana Vieira Guerra, Lucie Zhang and Vincent Romeo. The synopsis: “After being admitted to an elite tennis academy hidden deep in the South of Europe, Sophie (Kampp) must contend not only with fierce competition but also with the school’s increasingly sinister undercurrents. What begins as a competitive rite of passage soon unravels into something darker, forcing Sophie to choose between chasing greatness and the connections to her friends and lovers. As the stakes rise, she must decide whether to become the player she’s always dreamed of—or keep her empathy. BLOODY TENNIS blends elite sports, trippy hallucinations and grotesque humor into a world filled with brutal ambition, bloodsucking leeches, hard-hitting serves and delicious nightmares.”
