About

Synopsis

Pacific Heights (1990) — watch online on iFILM, a psychological thriller directed by John Schlesinger, starring Melanie Griffith, Matthew Modine, and Michael Keaton. USA.

Drake and Patty scrape together everything to buy a Victorian house in San Francisco and take on a tenant to cover the mortgage. Carter Hayes moves in charming and well-dressed. He never pays. Instead he changes the locks, releases cockroaches inside the walls, and systematically tears their lives apart — all while staying just inside the law.

Keaton plays Hayes without a single raised voice. No threats, no outbursts. Just quiet, deliberate demolition. That restraint is what makes the character genuinely unsettling, and it's the performance that elevates the film well above the standard home-invasion template.
