what is this film??

[Penny]

for years now, iv been remembering a film that i used to watch in early 90s (or possibly from the 80s). The only thing i can remember is...

a man has turned a womans house into a wooden maze type thing, and she's running through it, and he's shutting the doors behind her, and as she's going through the corridor thingys, they're getting smaller and smaller until it's like a coffin.

This might not be exactly right, but does anyone know what film this is?

thanks

Might it be "Buried Alive" with Tim Matheson?  I found this summary which fits what I remember of the film and your description.

"The affable Clint, a successful architect, would seem to have it all: a thriving career, a big house and Joanna, a cute blond trophy wife.  Unfortunately, Clint is a bit of a dope, not realizing that he's married the bitchiest woman on earth, or that she's cheating on him with the slimy Cort, a doctor with whom she's plotting to do Clint in so they can lap up the insurance money.  This Joanna does by giving Clint a poisoned drink that immediately causes him to go into seizures...furthermore, she gives herself away by screaming "Die, damn you!" just before he breathes his last.

But wait: Clint's not dead!  The poison apparently only knocked him out for a few hours, after which he awakens inside a coffin buried in the ground.  Cheap-o Joanna only shelled out enough for a rotting old casket that Clint easily breaks out of, allowing him to dig his way to the surface.

Back at the house, Joanna and Cort are plotting to leave town.  Cort, for his part, has a surprise of his own brewing: he's about to kill Joanna so he can keep all the loot for himself.  Before any of this can go down, however, Clint returns home...and the fun really begins!

The final half hour is by far the best part, as Clint locks Joanna and Cort in the basement while he turns his living room into a giant plywood maze...and then turns his captives loose in it!  But Clint's ultimate revenge is saved for the unforgettable final shot, which I won't reveal here (hint: read the title!)."
