Like, I'm not picky when it comes to low-budget fantasy films. This one (which I only know about because I believe the director went to my high school, so when it came out there were a couple home town screenings and articles in the paper about it) doesn't have the best acting, but it does have actors willing to commit to the bit and yell out the name "Westender" a bunch of times without feeling stupid. Its costuming is basically Renfaire/SCA-level, but it's at least clear that someone made the costumes for the movie, they didn't just buy a bunch of PLAIN WHITE T-SHIRTS. The plot as I remember it is kinda thin, but it's enough to keep your eyes on the screen. What it does have is a good score, and someone who's good enough at location scouting to find a bunch of cool places around Oregon to shoot their fantasy epic. It works. Granted, I haven't seen the movie in a long while, but I liked it enough the first time I watched it to snap up the DVD when I randomly encountered it in a CD store years later, and that's not nothing.
