Danger on Dartmoor is a 1980 British children's drama film directed by David Eady and starring Marcus Evans, Simon Henderson, Debby Salter, Barry Foster and Patricia Hayes.[1] [2] [3]
Children lost in a fog on Dartmoor face dangers including a savage dog and an escaped prisoner.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Although the basic situation may prove a trifle over-familiar to all but the smallest children, a script remarkably free of clichés (e.g., Patricia Hayes never once saying of her convict son "He's a good boy"), an intelligent use of locations, and even the occasional idea that would serve in a higher-powered thriller (e.g., Louise converting Green to the straight and narrow with statistics from her pocket calculator) make for fifty-seven minutes without a single longueur. Nice performances all round, with a special mention to Demon."[4]
