...how it completely subverts the original and flips it on its head.

In '78 Michael is obsessed with Laurie who is completely oblivious to it and just goes about her teenage ways...

Now we get Laurie just being over the moon obsessed with Michael and all he wants to do is kill, he's completely oblivious to her and quite frankly doesn't give a shit about her.

I'm so glad they went with Michael's randomness and it didn't turn into "oh he's gotta kill XYZ and to get to Laurie"...

Absolutely these things. I watched the original Thursday night and saw this one last night, so those subtleties stood out.

Overall i thought they did a great job with the movie. My only criticism would be the new-ish style of banter/dialogue that you see in modern movies. Not sure how to describe it. That ad lib feeling stuff they do that comes off as unnatural. But it's a minor critique. Overall, great job. I thought it was a great hommage to the original.
