I'm drawing a blank on a Hollywood film made in the last decade that has a harrowing scene centered on a trailer in semi-rural Arizona (or Texas?), where a guy has a shotgun and someone (a woman, I think) has been buried alive in a coffin, trying to scratch her way out. Maybe I'm conflating two different films, but I remember being struck by the comparison of trailer and coffin.
