Webster's dictionary defines The Aggression Scale as the frequency of overt aggressive behaviors in children that may result in physical or psychological injury to others, but The Aggression Scale here isn't scientific. It's a visceral reaction from two unusual teenagers whose most vicious instincts are unleashed in order to protect themselves and their home. Disturbing, dark and unforgettable, The Aggression Scale is a pulse-pounding ride that will leave you in a sweat.

The Aggression Scale Blu-ray(TM) and DVD include "The Making Of The Aggression Scale" featurette. SRP is $24.99 for the Blu-ray(TM) and $22.98 for DVD. Pre-book is May 2, 2012.
