. After the completion of filming ''The Tribe'', the producers did not like the initial edited cut, and could not get the original cast back to do further reshoots. As a result, the production crew concluded that they had produced a movie that did not live up to their original expectations, and that it would not do well. Thus, they decided to remake the movie under the name ''The Lost Tribe'', but with an entirely new director, script and cast.

The reviewer also criticized the film's finale as being too simplistic. ''HorrorNews.net'' gave the film a positive review, writing, "''Lost Tribe'' has all the quality elements you need from a horror film in that it’s shot well, directed well, flows nicely and has great sound and scoring to it.
