I must say, I really enjoyed the first 'new' Evil Dead - kind of new while still clearly inspired by the original. This one not so much, it felt like something different and a quite a few solutions were a bit obvious.
But hey, cool that you had fun with it: different things for different people!
I think this one was great. The 2013 movie may have had more motional impact, the classic setting, and probably is overall a better movie, but this one feels like it embodies what "Evil Dead" is as a franchise much more. It would have been nice is the family was a bit more likable (the two older kids are these weird caricatures), but the lead and the younger kid are likable enough for me to root for them. I also think in terms of balancing comedy and horror, this is my sweet spot.
I've seen a couple people say this movie is boring. You don't have to like the movie, but I don't see how a movie where

someone's scalp gets ripped off in the first 5 min of the movie could be boring.
I liked it. The actors and they’re obvious “American accents that somehow all matched each other in a location that was definitely not California” was the only thing i wasn’t thrilled about.
The action was good. Deadites were great. Not sure if Raimi and Campbell will be doing a slightly different director for each entry in the franchise - but they chose well this time and wouldn’t mind seeing them come back (too lazy to look up the director name).
