Plot Summary

Welcome to Monster Camp, the true story about a world where people transform into creatures, heroes, and monsters to escape their daily lives. In the vein of Lord of the Rings, World of Warcraft, and Dungeons and Dragons; these enthusiasts have developed a complicated world to bring their fantasies to life. Romantic relationships are forged between characters. Friendships are destroyed over plot disputes. Characters are slain and never return. But keeping this world alive takes a lot of real world work. And unless someone is willing to take charge, the fantasy may be lost forever.

Rotten: At 82 minutes, this visit to a rarely seen world of gamers may begin to feel a little long, unless you're planning to get into the game yourself. – Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News, Jun 24, 2010

Rotten: Monster Camp is an endless succession of fantasy enthusiasts talking about nothing. – J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader, Jun 24, 2010
