Any movies on being buried alive?


Recommended Posts

I'm doing a project for English and I need to relate Edgar Allen Poe's short story "The Fall of the House of Usher." I was wondering if there are any movies with a plot twist involving being buried alive? I already have made some connections with The Others movie (children have strange illnesses). Are there any others that you guys/gals know of?

Well if you wait, WWE Survivor Series is having a buried alive match (Undertaker vs. Vince McMahon) lol :)

Other than that I don't really remember any with that..

There are a few that i can think of off the top of my head, one being a film called Burried Alive.

The first Buried Alive with Tim Matheson is SUCH a COOL movie.

This is kinda stretching it, but in Pit and the Pendulum there is a scene at the end where a lady was put into an iron maiden-like thingy and then forgotten as the people who survived the fight left the dungeon - it's been a while so I'm a wee bit fuzzy on the details.

There is also an Alfred Hitchcock episode where a man is imprisoned in a room by his wife.

In the movie the Mummy (the Hammer version), either Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing (I get them SO confused!) is wrapped up and buried alive in a tomb - that STILL creeps me out.

I can think of more...
