He should direct the new Evil Dead movie

Did you know that Sam Raimi made a deal with some guy Fede Alvarez to direct the remake of Evil Dead? Raimi decided that he's the right guy because of his low-budget youtube video which is about robots destroying a city. CGI is definitely impressive in that short, but to be fair it's nothing else than in Transformers. Why did Raimi choose him? James Rolfe is by far a better guy to direct a horror movie like that.
James is a die hard fan of Evil Dead movies (and horror movies in general); he has some experience in making horror films (Mr. Bucket :D) and he always wanted to make a film similar to Evil Dead; he's a talented guy and he proved it with many youtube videos, not one. I can't imagine anyone else doing a remake of Evil Dead. Damn you, Sam Raimi, for choosing the wrong guy!

Of course I've seen... several times. But that's my point - he's good at directing horror movies, so why didn't Raimi gave the director's chair for James? He would be great at it in my opinion.
