Silent Sam - This exploitation B-movie, produced by "Mad Samurai Productions" is what was inflicted upon grandmothers and niñitos alike - as well as us - on our public bus to Sonsonate. Its pivotal scene involves Babs, the good bad cop's partner, being tortured naked with electrodes by evil gangsters until she dies screaming in blood. As if there wasn't enough torture in El Salvador.
It was so bad that I had to look it up and of course I found it on the Internet. Almost as fantastic as the movie is slatromhsiloof's review on IMDB, in which he writes: "I would rather watch a colonoscopy video."
Moral of the story: even if you're not a victim of violence on El Salvador's buses, you will probably be a victim of one of these movies if you're here long enough.
I was forced to watch a movie called Killer Sheep in which genetically altered sheep became man-eating killers that stormed a garden party wedding. I say forced because I was on a bus and couldn't avert my eyes.
