Pits "Straw Dogs" against "Home Alone," if Kevin were a potential serial killer, and the thieves murderers.

'A satisfactory but straightforward dabbling in psycho killer hero worship.'

Sort of like The Strangers meets Home Alone. Only dead serious and painfully violent.

Audience Reviews for The Aggression Scale

Totally awesome suspenseful nail biting ride as Owen (Ryan Hartwig) and his sister Lauren (Fabianne Therese) decide to grab the reins for their very lives as they witness their parents Bill (Boyd Kestner) & Maggie (Lisa Rotund) becoming unsuspecting victims to a group of men sent to their new lives in the country to become mob hits. Using every bit of their wits as well as Owen's "MacGuyver's Survival Skills" The two of them go against the odds to push their very survival to the very limits of the hitmen's patience. Please see this!

Super Reviewer

Part Home Alone and part Straw Dogs, The Aggression Scale is a hyper-violent film about a family who has just moved to a new house only to find they are being targeted by gangsters who have been ordered to brutally murder and retrieve money from every individual on a list provided by their boss (Ray Wise of Twin Peaks fame). But the family's adolescent son has been diagnosed with hyper-aggressive tendencies and doesn't take kindly to the home invasion. Not exactly an action or horror film, The Aggression Scale melds elements of both. Alternately funny, brutal, and tense, The Aggression Scale doesn't quite achieve the heights that it might have, but it remains and enjoyably original film nonetheless.
