Don't watch the remake
Although there are a few nods to the remake in the last three episodes. Especially with certain shots. One off the top of my head is SPOILERS when the last girl who dies before she gets sucked into the room, the way she turns and looks at the open door, the shot is directly from the remake. -

There's numerous flashbacks and it literally explains what's going on during the opening credits.
Watching the movies first will give you a much better in-depth understanding, but you won't be confused or anything watching it if you don't. -

You don't have to watch the first three films to see the series, but it will definitely help in your enjoyment of the series, mainly to see how Ash develops from the first movie to the series.
After 5 Years of Chuck, I have learned that at the end the nerd will ALWAYS get the girl. Chuck me. -

Maybe. I don't think you'll be lost in terms of the plot. This takes place thirty years or whatever after the first two movies (the second of which is kind of a remake of the first). I think that, plot wise, you'll be able to follow along fine as long as you know the basic premise that Ash went out to this cabin with his girlfriend and had to fight demons who were released by his reading the Necronomicon. But I think that some of the jokes and references work a bit better if you've seen the first two movies. They're real good movies too so they're worth watching just in their own right.
