Evil Dead wasn't about being funny.  2 and 3 are the funny ones.

I meant more stupid than funny?

The first one was just trying to be a serious horror film, with low budgets and naff actors.  Pure B-Movie gold.

I'm not sure what to think as it looks like it could lose the charm the original had from being a B-movie. I'm glad they seem to be keeping the style the same though.

Really? Any sources or interviews that back this up? I always thought it was supposed to be a bit of a black comedy.

Nah, the reaction of love because it was tacky, they went with in two and three.
They did try to make 1 serious, watch it again and you can tell they tried. Nige is right, low budget and bad actors.
2 and 3 they played to the strengths and what people liked. Dam clever if you ask me, if they just tried to do the same again with a bit more cash 2 and 3 would have flopped.

Sam Raimi and the others intended the first to be a serious film (then realised afterwards that in the sequal it would work well with a mix of dark humour and horror). There is a pretty good summary of the original intentions for the film under the Within The Woods section here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Evil_Dead_%28franchise%29

Its pretty obvious when you thin about it since 2 is simply a black comedy remake of 1. Why else would it be the same story?
