Upcoming home invasion flick The Aggression Scale has slid under the radar for the most part, but anyone that's seen it raves it should be on your "must watch" list. To promote the upcoming DVD & Blu Ray release May 29th, Anchor Bay just launched a couple preview clips of the film. While I usually try to go avoid posting out of context clips, these do a nice job of setting up the film.
Some have described The Aggression Scale as a violent, bloody take on Home Alone. That would certainly appear to be the case with the premise, as a pair of teenagers have to defend themselves against blood thirsty home invaders that have already made the kids orphans.
This first clip establishes that our antagonists (including Derek Mears of Friday the 13th fame) are more badass than Joe Pesci and Daniel Sterns bumbling buffoons:
The second clip shows that even the former Mr. Jason Voorhees is no match for a borderline sociopath with the best swing this side of Albert Puljos:
Here's the official synopsis: When out-on-bail mob boss Bellavance (Wise) discovers that $500,000 of his money is missing, he sends four hardcore hit men (including Ashbrook and Mears) to send a “loud and messy” message to the suspected thieves’ families. But when the killers invade the Rutledge home, they’ll meet the household’s emotionally disturbed young son Owen (Ryan Hartwig). Owen has a history of violent behavior, knows how to make lethal booby-traps and is about to teach these thugs some deadly lessons in extreme vengeance. Fabianne Therese co-stars in the savage thriller that IndieWire called “like Home Alone with more death!”
