According to his wishes, Lionsgate Films' production department re-edited and produced "Isolated Island Fright," and then released it in four theaters located near Chinatown in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
On the first day of release, it earned $14,700 at the box office, with an average daily income of $3,675 per theater, far below the average level.
In the first week, it earned $210,000 from twelve theaters, and the general consensus was that the reception was pretty mediocre.
Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating was 3%, with 12 in favor and 3 against.
Critics mainly criticized its plot for lacking blood plasma, severed limbs, psychopathic zombies, and terrifying music. The plot was not at all exciting, and watching the movie only made viewers drowsy.
For Huaxia audiences, the main selling point of the movie was the scantily clad female leads.
