It featured a recap at the beginning that did change some plot elements (mainly just having it be Ash and Linda at the cabin) in interest of time, and then it launched into sequel territory once Ash goes flying. The recap only lasts about 10 minutes and everything else is all new material

I believe they quickly reshot a recap from part one because they couldn't get the rights to show scenes from Evil Dead. IMO, it could certainly be seen as either a sequel or remake.

The Thing
The Fly
Village of the Damned (the original has dated so badly)
Halloween
Casino Royale (if you really want to consider it a remake)
I don't see how Evil Dead II could be considered a remake of Evil Dead. It clearly takes place the night after the events in the first film. It's like saying Halloween II is a remake of Halloween, or Hellraiser II is a remake of Hellraiser.

Reading this thread has caused me to add the newer Hills Have Eyes to my 'need to check out' list. I've seen the original and had neglected to take a look at the new one since remakes usually are a step down...
