As a massive fan of the novel and a fan of the original flick, I've got to say this remake is a bit loose, however (and I quote)...
All of the changes from the novel were driven by the desire to find a new angle on a familiar story. "When you're making an adaptation, you want to do as much new, fresh things that you can because there's already an existing movie," said Kölsch. "But at the same time, you want to make sure that you're staying true to the essence of the book so that people still feel like they're getting Stephen King's Pet Sematary.

Exceptionally well shot and executed.
If you're a King fan (then you know his works never stay true on the big screen) you will enjoy this!
Sometimes... dead is better.
