Missed the point entirely

Rating: 5/10 (6 April 2020)

Ok first off I want to say this was a pretty good movie. But a terrible evil dead movie. It also missed the point of the original entirely.
Evil dead 1981 was a movie that absolutely terrified me as a kid. I got started with Army of darkness and eventually found out evil dead 1 and 2 were the predecessors. I was expecting hilarity one liners and over the top action. But what I got was something even better and this is where Evil dead 2013 misses the point entirely.
The evil dead trilogy is basically a decent into madness and trauma. Ashley William's slowley becoming Ash. In evil dead Ashley Williams is a romantic shy educated young man. He has a girl he wants to spend his entire life with. As the madness ensues he basically does nothing heroic and freezes being saved by scotty over and over through out the movie. Ashley William's is a wimp.
Evil dead 2 he is becoming Ash after the cabin has driven him literally mad. We see him change into a womanizing witty idiot who is a badass with a chainsaw hand. Before our very eyes.
Evil dead 2013 we follow David and he starts of a wimp like ashley then he slowley becomes a hero. To be killed off and were forced to then follow a character who we do not sympathize at all with after the first 10 minutes of the film when she is the first character to be possessed? Its dumb and I do not understand that choice. This is why this should have been called the cabin and not the evil dead.
