Really? I heard the 2013 one was pretty good. What little I saw of it, it seemed genuinely scary, unlike the original which was awesome but camp-tastic (which may be why people didn't like the remake as much).
Evil Dead 2 is sort of a remake? The original Evil Dead was a straight horror film so they kind of rebooted it. The first third of Evil Dead 2 is a remake and then it diverges from the source material, I guess you could say.
