How much audiences will like Monster Camp may depend on their ability/need to abandon their everyday personas for weekends of fantasy dress-up and battles.

Rating: C --
The film provides a voyeuristic peek into the fantasy lives of nerds but becomes repetitive and tiresome in the second half.

Rating: 3/5 --
Contains its fair share of self-awareness but eschews the ridicule a lesser doc might employ in search of cheap laughs.

It's all very harmless, engaging, and for the most part, solid.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Rating: 3/4 --
Monster Camp introduces us to several of its cheerful practitioners, letting what first seems odd slowly make sense to the uninitiated.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
there are comparatively few insights into the psyche of the player here, as opposed to the depth of a film like Wordplay

Product Description:
Venturing bravely into the fantastical world of live action role playing, MONSTER CAMP director Cullen Hoback gets to know the colorful people who dedicate their weekends to costumes, masks, and make-believe. When the participants (often fans of online role-playing games such as WORLD OF WARCRAFT) gather together, they trade in their day-to-day identities for magical monikers, building--if only for a few days--a "real-life" fantasy realm where anything is possible.
Description by Koch Entertainment Distribution:
MONSTER CAMP is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the world of live-action role playing, known as LARPing, as people act out the real-life version of the videogame phenomenon, "World of Warcraft." In this award-winning documentary, gamer stereotypes are simultaneously shattered and confirmed. Immerse yourself in a world completely unlike our own; a world built upon fantasy, chivalry, and imagination; a place where you can be anything, dress however, and have almost any power. This is the true story of NERO Seattle, one of over 60 LARPing franchises with thousands of members in North America.
