It’s the ultimate yuppie nightmare when a young couple rents their spare apartment to a psychopath in this twisted thriller starring a memorably villainous Michael Keaton. After renovating their dream home in the upscale San Francisco neighborhood of Pacific Heights, Patty (Melanie Griffith) and Drake (Matthew Modine) take in Carter Hayes (Keaton) to rent one of the downstairs apartments. At first Hayes seems like the ideal tenant—then come the roaches, the wanton destruction, and the terrifying stalking in a diabolical plot to drive the couple out of both their home and minds.
