Evil Dead remake to me was just pure gore with no character development. It felt like a drag.
I think I've seen a few movies with not-so-dumb-and-annoying stoner but all I can remember are Detention of the Dead (I think Justin Chon did a great job as a stoner!) and Idle Hands.
I've also seen like a couple of movies where the nobody save the day but darn it can't remember any. Only horror movies with depressing ending that I could think of are 2007's The Mist and Cabin in the Woods.
