There’s probably an anti-abortion message somewhere in Rang
(????, a.k.a. The Parallel) that star Paula Taylor wants you to take
to heart. But the social commentary gets lost in a muddled, unevenly paced
story about ghosts. Paula, the actress and model with the megawatt smile,
became a mother not too long ago and is now serious as heck, and she turns in a
solidly dramatic performance here. In Rang, she is drugged by her dirtbag
boyfriend and taken to a back-alley abortion clinic. She somehow survives the
ordeal, but loses the ability to have children. So she decides to adopt, and
she settles on a creepy little girl who has a creepy little doll and a past
that is as haunted as Paula’s character’s is. The girl has been left speechless
since she witnessed her shopkeeper mother’s violent death at the hands of a
thug. A tussle ensued that saw her mother’s face smashed into a glass shelf,
cutting deep into her cheek. One second the gash is there, the next second it isn’t.
Then it’s there again. After that, the curly-headed mother’s fighting spirit
apparently went to reside in the curly-headed doll. And anytime anyone
threatens the little girl, the fearsome ghost mom with the curly hair and cut
on her cheek is there to take care of them. A couple of comical young police
detectives in skinny jeans are on the case, and somehow tie everything
together. Overall, Rang isn’t very scary, though there is decent gore. And the
lighting is nice. Released by Golden A Entertainment, it’s directed Phon
Worawaranyu, previously an assistant director on films by industry veteran
Tanit Jitnukul.
