FILM 2034: PACIFIC HEIGHTS

TRIVIA: Screenwriter Daniel Pyne once rented an apartment to a tenant that he could not evict. The film was inspired from this scenario.

In the original script, Carter (Michael Keaton) was a bisexual man who sexually threatens Drake (Matthew Modine) and Patty (Melanie Griffith).

One of a cycle of thrillers made during the early 1990s which were set around husband and wife characters. The films include: Malice (1993), Deceived (1991), Shattered (1991), Mortal Thoughts (1991), Consenting Adults (1992), Unlawful Entry (1992), Presumed Innocent (1990), Guilty as Sin (1993), Sleeping with the Enemy (1991), and A Kiss Before Dying (1991).

This is ranked at the No. #93 rank on Bravo's "The 100 Scariest Movie Moments" list.

Carter Hayes calls Patty, "Miss Palmer". Also, the detective called her "Miss Palmer", but the credits call her name is "Patty Parker".

Film critic, Janet Maslin in The New York Times wrote, that this film was "perhaps the first eviction thriller".
