If you have seen this READ THIS - It will make more sense

Like most of you when I first watched the film I thought "They messed up the remake" THEN I THOUGHT ABOUT IT. **SPOILERS AHEAD***
Try to follow me here and it may make sense and change your overall view of the film.
THE MOVIE IS NOT A REMAKE. SORT OF. IT ANSWERS A QUESTION.
This movie, being modern time makes sense, and the whole thing centers around the fact that Ash's 1973 Delta 88 is the car Mia is sitting own at the beginning. If you recall the first 3 films, Ash leaves in the car, sort of. HE is pulled back in time, Oldsmobile and all at the end of 2 and hence Army of Darkness
Keep in mind that Raimi's next project is Army of Darkness 2
So let me side track a bit. On the DVD of the original EVIL DEAD you will notice in commentary they state "EVERYBODY DIES" but yet you have Evil Dead 2 which as awesome as it is, is this weird hodgepodge remake/not of Evil Dead. So taking those details so far into account it becomes clear to me, ASH's story is rewritten, in actuality he DIED at the end of Evil Dead, they never really tell you otherwise, even the end music is a indicator when looking back on it.
If he died, and you are in a world where there is a Hell, then there is a afterlife. If this is the case then Evil Dead 2 is Ash's purgatory and he relives the events of the first film and then some. That explains the end of the 2nd movie and the redemption. So therefor, as far as I think, the movie is a vehicle to explain the past 3 films and helps setup for Army of Darkness 2, and by that is not a 5 star as I first thought but instead a brilliant 10 star with its place in the cannon. What do you think?
