`Pacific Heights" is a horror film for yuppies, in which the bad guy uses the ax to attack your three-flat, not you.
In a way, "Pacific Heights" could stand comparison to "Rosemary's Baby." Both films are about a young couple who are deeply concerned by events that seem to be happening in another flat in their building.
The difference between the movies is instructive: Roman Polanski insinuates us into the gradually growing horror of his couple in "Rosemary's Baby," while John Schlesinger, in "Pacific Heights," seems concerned only with generating the most obvious shock effects.

 AudioRevolution.com DVD Review of Pacific Heights
PACIFIC HEIGHTS is an attempt at an urban thriller based on an unusual threat -- the loss of a house -- and it almost works, due to Melanie Griffith and the powerful, eerie performance of Michael Keaton.
PACIFIC HEIGHTS was called the ultimate yuppie nightmare, because it centers on a couple who are in their early thirties, live in a city -- San Francisco -- and have ambitions, and because the film centers on property ownership, which is classically a yuppie issue.
Patty and Drake, living together but not married (which is emphasized to no detectable point), overextend themselves in their purchase of a Victorian house in San Francisco's Pacific Heights area.

 Pacific Heights
A local joke has it that when the bright young things of the Marina grow up and have kids, they climb the hill to Pacific Heights and look down on all the fun they used to have.
Even when these hills were bare back in the 1860s, their panoramic views of the ocean earmarked them as fashionable territory as soon as the gradient-conquering cable cars linked them with downtown.
West of Fillmore Street, lower Pacific Heights is centered on restful Alta Plaza Park, at Clay and Steiner Streets, where local dog-walkers earn their keep by exercising pampered pooches.

 San Francisco Neighborhoods: Pacific Heights
San Francisco locals tend to be a bit more cynical about the exclusive air of Pacific Heights, but that doesn't mean you won't catch residents of other neighborhoods making a special trip for the eclectic, upscale shopping opportunities that Fillmore Street offers.
The neighborhood is loosely bordered by Van Ness and Presidio avenues and Pine and Vallejo streets and was first colonized by the nouveau riche of the late 1800s when the construction of a new cable-car line made the area accessible.
The area draws a variety of American and international tourists and is always well populated by impossibly groomed and outfitted locals who seem capable of strolling through a windstorm without having a hair get out of place.
