The Thing (1982, John Carpenter)

It’s not really that horrific to me. But the thing that really spooked me was how deep and wide they cut themselves up drawing blood from their thumbs.

The Thing is a 1982 American science fiction horror film directed by John Carpenter from a screenplay by Bill Lancaster. Based on the 1938 John W. Campbell Jr. novella Who Goes There?, it stars Kurt Russell, with A. Wilford Brimley, T. K. Carter, David Clennon, Keith David, Richard Dysart, Charles Hallahan, Peter Maloney, Richard Masur, Donald Moffat, Joel Polis, and Thomas G. Waites.

John Carpenter’s “The Thing” June 25, 1982.

And today I've seen Danielle Steel's Kaleidoscope from 1990, in German. Cast: Jaclyn Smith - Hilary Walker Perry King - John Chapman Patricia Kalember - Alexandra Claudia Christian - Meagan Donald Moffat - Arthur Patterson Terry O'Quinn - Henry Robert Bidaman - Luke and many more 

Story: A wealthy man, Arthur Patterson, wants to be clean with his past and hires a private detective, John Chapman, to find three sisters for him who were separated after their parents' death. At first, they were living with their aunt and uncle but Arthur back then found two adopting families for the younger sisters. Hilary had to stay with them until she was old enough to break out. And Hilary is the first one John finds, right in New York. He has some trouble to break her hard exterior but well, he manages and slowly they become a couple. Secondly, he finds Alexandra in the South where she's the wife of a senator, Henry, but he treats her more like a servant and they have two kids. At least, he finds Meagan in San Francisco where she works as a doctor but she and her husband Luke have no luck with getting kids of their own. All three come together at Arthur's house in Connecticut where he reveals them the truth, about him dying and more, yet Hilary still holds the grudge from before and that she knows that Meagan is in reality his child and not her father's. But Arthur didn't know that. John tries to help and as a lawyer himself before becoming a P.I. (*grins*), he understands and talks to Hilary and as said, they become a couple. When Arthur dies, Meagan is with him and tells then her sisters about the funeral. Alexandra comes quickly with her two daughters but Hilary doesn't know yet. In the end, she comes along with John. And they stay together. Note: Claudia Christian and Perry King know each other from "Riptide" (Episode 2.01) and the background of the P.I. strongly reminded me of Cody Allen. lol 

Unfortunately, I have only found the German version and not in the original one but still, it’s acceptable.
