Buzz McClain from Allmovie called it "silly", also writing, "this handsomely produced creature feature is far from scary but is often amusing, albeit in a stomach-tightening way." [1] Black Horror Movies.com gave the film two out of five stars, stating: "By the end, the action is so ridiculous, all I could think about was the Simpsons episode about Snake Whacking Day. You’re better off whacking something else than watching what Snake Island has to offer." [2]
