Unfortunately, the acting and effects let this down badly.

Some territories/countries films are really hard to find. I wanted to find something a little more culturally relevant for the US Virgin Islands but they weren't available to watch, so I had to make do with the 13 minute short 'Oberon's Gold', which isn't very good.

It's a simple Western/Folk Tale mash up, which is a bit strange to start with but hey, let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, the acting, so called special effects and the worst 'day for night' shot I've ever seen don't do anything to help its cause.

Looking at the credits list here, there are a fair few people involved which seems odd for something so low budget and considering I've just watched zero budget films from Belize, Jamaica & Guadeloupe, this is the worst of the bunch so far because it looks like it should have been more professional.

The fantasy genre features imaginative and often magical worlds, characters, and events. It explores realms beyond the boundaries of reality, featuring elements such as magic, mythical creatures, supernatural powers, and fantastical settings. These stories can take place in entirely fictional worlds or blend fantastical elements with real-world settings.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.

The Western genre features stories set primarily in the 19th-century American Old West and often depict the rugged frontier life, exploring themes of individualism, justice, morality, and the clash between civilization and the untamed wilderness. The genre has its roots in the historical context of westward expansion and the challenges faced by pioneers, settlers, outlaws, and lawmen.
