Making The Impossible Murder

Yeah, I’ve made a feature film, too.

Here’s the tagline:

An old lady is killed in a locked room under impossible circumstances. Five witnesses hear her screaming while trying to break open the door to her room. When they enter, she is dead but there is no sign of the killer or the murder weapon. Why would someone kill an old lady in a remote village. More importantly: How did he do it?

Here’s the trailer:

And you can watch the full movie in low quality on YouTube.

My favorite critic had this to say:

Don’t know about you, but I’m so intrigued that I rented it for $1.99 on Amazon Instant VOD. I love Locked Room puzzles.
