Two kinds of Evil Dead films
The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness are the original trilogy and tell one story. Evil Dead (2013) and Evil Dead Rise are separate, each with its own continuity.
Release order puts the trilogy first and the newer films after it, and you can stop after Army of Darkness if you want only the original story.
