The appeal is basically gone now. This doesn't really bring anything new to the table. If you've seen the first one, this is a weaker rehash. Shorter, less effective and not as interesting.

As pointless as the first movie...
paul_haakonsen29 January 2024
While I was not particularly impressed with director Shin'ichirô Ueda's 2017 movie "Kamera O Tomeru Na!" (aka "One Cut of the Dead"), then I had to sit down and watch the 2019 sequel, as I happened to stumble upon it by random chance here in 2024. I actually didn't know that there was a sequel here, to be bluntly honest.
The runtime of the sequel "Kamera O Tomeru Na! Supin-Ofu: Hariuddo Daisakusen!" (aka "One Cut of the Dead Spin-Off: In Hollywood") was surprisingly short, running at a mere 56 minutes, whereas the 2017 movie "Kamera O Tomeru Na!" ran for 96 minutes. Already there, I was doubting that I would be in for anything good here with the sequel.
However, I opted to keep a positive and open mind and opted to give director Yûya Nakaizumi the benefit of the doubt.
I noticed that Shin'ichirô Ueda, whom directed the first movie, was actually the writer for the sequel. So I guess that had to count for something in terms of continuity, or something.
The storyline in the movie was simplistic, just as it was in the first movie. So you're no in for anything grand here. In fact, the narrative in this sequel was a bit weaker than it was in the first movie, which means that you're not in for an evening of Shakespearian theater here.
Suffice to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. But I can honestly say that I wasn't impressed with what I witnessed on the screen in terms of the acting performances and the fake blonde wigs.
Right, well "Kamera O Tomeru Na! Supin-Ofu: Hariuddo Daisakusen!" was supposed to take place in Hollywood? Yeah, not even a blind man would believe that the movie is filmed in Hollywood, much less actually taking place in Hollywood.
The effects in the movie are questionable, just as they were in the 2017 predecessing movie. But hey, if you liked the "Kamera O Tomeru Na!" movie, then you're in for a treat here, because director Yûya Nakaizumi carried on in the same style. The gun effects were hilariously bad, and the zombie make-up was so simplistic that I bet I could have made them myself.
"Kamera O Tomeru Na! Supin-Ofu: Hariuddo Daisakusen!" was every bit as boring, pointless and laughable as the 2017 "Kamera O Tomeru Na!" movie was. So I was definitely not entertained, nor did I enjoy sitting through the 56 minutes that the movie ran for.
My rating of "Kamera O Tomeru Na! Supin-Ofu: Hariuddo Daisakusen!" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.
