Lady escapes prison in a casket and is buried alive

Hi everyone, so I’m not sure when this movie came out originally but I saw it on tv in the 90’s. There’s a female prisoner who makes a deal with a prison employee. The deal was that the next time someone in the prison dies she would go into the room with the casket and sneak in next to the dead body. The employee would wait until they actually burry the dead person and then go dig her out. So she hears (maybe a siren) or something that lets her know someone just died. She goes and sneaks into the casket next to the body. She feels the casket go in the ground and continues to wait. She realizes it’s taking long and she struggles to get matches out of her pocket and lights a match to see who’s next to her, only to find out its the employee that is supposed to dig her out. I would love to know if anyone saw it or knows what it’s called.

  1. Actually, this is a remake of the same movie from the 60s, the protagonist was a millionaire man.

  2. Does anyone know of a more modern-era (post-2000s) movie that is somewhat similar to this plot line?

    I recall there was a man who ended up in prison for some reason. He then also tried to get out of prison by hiding in a casket with a corpse, and then having someone secretly dig him out at night. They buried the casket, and he waited for his accomplice. At some point he decided to call his accomplice’s number, but the phone rang from within the casket. Then the movie ends with man screaming in horror as he discovers his accomplice dead lying beside him with eyes wide open looking upward.
