"Are you going somewhere with this _scared-straight angle_"?

Sguardo minaccioso? Intimidatorio?

Explanation:
scared stright significa i metodi forti, al limite della violenza, per "raddrizzare" qualcuno (delinquenti per es.) - direi che la traduzione dipende molto dal contesto più ampio - anche per angle, potrebbe essere atteggiamento, aria minacciosa... ma per quanto ne so io potrebbe anche avere un'aria terrorizzata!
