How a Revenge Film was Buried for Decades
Best Served Cold: How a Revenge Film was Buried for Decades Synopsis
A feature length cinema documentary on how THE FARMER (1977) became the most-requested cult film of the new millennium, and it's a crazy tale that involves an actor incarcerated for manslaughter, serious on-set injuries, banana-man costumes- as well as surprising links to Clint Eastwood and Martin Scorsese. The film also broadens its scope to explore the overlooked, eclectic and often ultra-violent sub-genre THE FARMER belongs to - The Returning Veteran film. A film type that hit its stride in the 1970's with hard hitting character studies such as WELCOME HOME, SOLDIERS BOYS (1971), THE NO MERCY MAN (1973) and ROLLING THUNDER (1977).
Best Served Cold: How a Revenge Film was Buried for Decades (2026) is a documentary film directed by Eric Zaldivar, released on August 15, 2026. It stars Gary Conway, Stratton Leopold, Paul Schrader and David Morrell.
