What happens

Super Sleuth is a 1984 Australian television film directed by David Wilson and starring Carmen Duncan, Steven Grives, Patrick Ward, and John Ewart. The screenplay concerns a group of people gathered in a secluded house murdered by a mysterious killer. The cast did not know the identity of the killer until they filmed the final segment. It was based on a concept created by Bill Powell. The Sydney Morning Herald's Richard Coleman gave it a bad review stating "The makers of Super Sleuth obviously thought that by making it a spoof they didn't have to worry about the terrible script, hammy acting and bad production. They were right. It was beyond worrying about." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
