History YMMV / EvilDead2013

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: When the possessed [[spoiler: show flickers of their human personality, is it the demon masquerading as its host, or is it the demon temporarily relinquishing control?]]

*** Yeah, no. The girl is purified, so she doesn't count. The dog's soul would make sense, since it doesn't say they have to be ''human'' souls, but it's still pretty desperate. Among the main group, only Olivia dies in a way that wouldn't count as purification: Natalie was dismembered; Eric and David were burned; and Mia was buried alive and then brought back. So even if the dog could be counted, the Abomination would have only consumed 2 souls.

* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Natalie's death]]. [[spoiler: After losing one arm in a botched amputation and becoming possessed anyway, David blows her other arm with a shotgun to save Eric. Suddenly [[DyingAsYourself the demon leaves her body]], and she doesn't understand why David is hurting her. She bleeds out in his arms, sobbing, scared and confused, while [[DissonantLaughter Eric laughs mirthlessly.]]]]

* TheScrappy: Olivia comes as this for some. Even though she tries to help ia, most fans of movie hate her for trying to pretend to be a real doctor and only making Mia's heroin problem worst.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: the girl burning to death in the opening scene looks ''terrible.''

* BrokenBase:
** Most fans weren't too enthusiastic about the idea of a remake. Especially a remake without Bruce Campbell or even his character of Ash. [[spoiler: Which becomes HilariousInHindsight when he shows up in the stinger.]] Sam Raimi at least justified the lack of Bruce Campbelle as Ash, by saying they wanted to keep the story lines separate, so they can eventually merge them.
** A lot of fans also aren't happy about [[spoiler: the DecoyProtagonist trick used as an AssPull]] and [[spoiler: the movie having a FinalGirl, which for some, along with the AnticlimaxBoss makes the finale look and sound like a truly bad knockoff of the original, or better, the Evil Dead 2's one]].
** A lot of people were definitely not happy that the infamous [[spoiler: tree rape scene]], something that fans of the series usually would rather not talk about, came back with a vengeance in the reboot, even more graphic and disturbing than it was before.
** The fact that Necronomicon no longer has a human face on the front of it (aka its ''most iconic feature,'' akin to Jason's hocky mask or Freddy's glove) also did not go over well with the fanbase.

* TheWoobie: Good lord, ''Mia''. To start, before the events of the movie, her brother ditched her to move away, leaving her to take care of their dying mother with dementia. The mental turmoil eventually caused her to resort to heroin, which she almost OD's on before the events of the movie. During the events of the film, in which she is attempting to kick her habit, she is attacked by the trees, the evil rapes her to possess her (which sends her soul to hell to be raped, according to the demon possessing her body in the meantime), and after finally [[spoiler: having the evil removed from her by her brother, her brother is killed and she is left to fight off the demonic creature that remains, which manages to burn her multiple times, slice through her arm and leg with a machete, and force her to ''tear her own hand off'' to escape its grasp before she finally kills it with a chainsaw.]] Keep in mind that this all occurs when she is suffering from ''heroin withdrawal''. She walks away after losing her hand, her brother and all her close friends.

** Okay, once Mia says [[spoiler: she wants to go home, and they refuse, they have created an adverse environment]]. Anyone who has been addicted or knows someone who was an addict knows that you can't force someone to come clean, and that adverse environment will hurt the addict going through withdrawl. [[spoiler: Mia has done this before, so the friends should know this.]] David actually objects to Olivia's plan at the beginning, but [[AssPull suddenly starts trusting her]].

** So let's get this straight...the people from the opening scene clearly know exactly what the Necronomicon is and what it's capable of, so they...leave it in plain sight, on a table, in a cabin that someone obviously still owns. But not only do they leave it in a place where someone is guaranteed to find it sooner or later, they go through the trouble of ''wrapping it in fucking barbed wire'' as if that's going to actually discourage anyone from reading it. The fact that they had the time to go find barbed wire and wire cutters somewhere means they clearly weren't leaving in a hurry, so it's not like they left the book there on accident. Not to mention, they're in a forest, where there are literally thousands of places where they could easily ''hide'' the book well enough that nobody could ever find it, yet they choose the barbed wire option anyway. In other words, the entire plot is set in motion because those people are among the dumbest beings on the planet.

** The fact that Necronomicon no longer has a human face on the front of it (aka its ''most defining feature,'' akin to Jason's hocky mask or Freddy's glove) also did not go over well with the fanbase.

* WhatAnIdiot: Eric dooms everyone and himself by reading the incantations in the Necronomicon, ignoring the fact that the fucking thing was wrapped in barbed wire and a trash bag before they found it, and even goes so far as to '''IGNORE THE WARNINGS WRITTEN WITHIN THE BOOK NOT TO DO SO'''.

* WhatAnIdiot: Eric dooms very much everyone and himself by reading the incantations in the Necronomicon, even ignoring the fact that the fucking thing was wrapped in barbed wires and a trash bag before they found it, or, get this, '''IGNORES THE WARNINGS WRITTEN WITHIN THE BOOK ITSELF'''.

* JerkassWoobie: David abandoned his sister (and friends) years ago to take of their insane dying mother, which caused his sister to become a drug addict. He hasn't kept in touch since. However, he genuinely regrets this, loves his sister dearly (to the point he's willing to risk his life for her), and is taunted by the Deadites about being a terrible big brother and son. [[spoiler: which leads to his RedemptionEqualsDeath]]
