b. Visual hallucination VS
In The Uninvited movie, the phenomena of visual hallucination have the biggest number of data occurrence among the other types. It is natural since this
type of hallucination is one of the two commonest types of hallucination. Visual hallucination and auditory hallucination usually follow each other, and so do they
in this movie. A person who is under visual hallucination sees something which does not actually exist so other people are unable to see it. An example of visual
hallucination is shown in the datum below. [In the boathouse]
MOTHER: [Pointing at someone in front of her] Murderer. Murderer [Anna is screaming, being afraid]
ALEX
: Anna? What are you doing down here? Hey. [touching Anna’s arm
TC
] Are you okay?
ANNA : It was Mom.
ALEX : What?
ANNA : I saw Mom
ALEX : What are you talking about?
RACHEL : [From the outside] Anna? Anna ANNA
: [drawing the curtains, looking at Rachel who’s standing outside] She’s been trying to tell me something.
ALEX : What?
ANNA : The fire wasn’t an accident. It was her.
datum no. 1600:28:04 In the example above, Anna experiences visual hallucination about two
different objects: her elder sister and her mother. Anna is actually alone in the boathouse because it is empty. Alex and her mother died one year before.
Therefore, Anna sees things which do not actually exist. The content of visual hallucination in this datum is related to Anna’s past about her beloved people.
Another example of visual hallucination is presented in the following datum.
[Outside the house] RACHEL : It’s just terrible. I’m gonna make breakfast. [talking to Anna] You
should eat something. [talking to the father] Coffee? DADDY : Yeah.
ANNA : Dad, wait.
DADDY : What? ANNA : Matt wasn’t just in the water last night. He was coming to see me.
DADDY : Anna, what happened to Matt is not your fault. ALEX : Dad, that’s not what she’s trying to say.
RACHEL : [from the kitchen] One of you come help me. ANNA
: Dad. ALEX
: I’ll go.
DADDY : What? ANNA
: I saw Matt in town yesterday. He told me he saw what happened the night of the fire. Rachel overheard us. She didn’t want me to talk to him
anymore. She didn’t want him to come here ever again.
PD
DADDY : Anna, why would Rachel say something like that? ANNA
: It’s just… DADDY : What?
RACHEL : Is everything all right out there? DADDY : We’ll be right in.
RACHEL : Okay.
datum no. 2600:42:27 In the example above, Anna asks her father’s time to talk outside the house.
Meanwhile, Rachel asks for help from the kitchen. Alex then offers herself to help Rachel in the kitchen while Anna is urging her father to continue their
conversation outside the house. Knowing that none of them comes to help her, Rachel asks if everything is all right.
In reality, there are only Anna, her father, and Rachel. Anna and her father are outside the house while Rachel is in the kitchen. Anna experiences visual
hallucination for seeing Alex’s appearance because she does not actually exist. Alex died a year before. Therefore, it is logical that Rachel is worried when Anna
and her father keep talking outside. Neither Rachel nor the father can see Alex’s
appearance because she only exists in Anna’s thought. The content of Anna’s hallucination in this example is still about her beloved person.
The last example of visual hallucination occurring in The Uninvited movie is presented in the datum below.
[Anna is surprised and afraid because of seeing Rachel’s corpse in the dustbin] ALEX : Anna. We tried everything, Anna. This was the only way.
ANNA
: [Seeing a kitchen knife held by Alex is covered with blood] What did you do? What did you do?
ALEX : I had to, Anna. Didn’t I? Didn’t I have to? ANNA
: [Hugging Alex
TC1
] It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m here. I’m always here.
Look at me. Look at me. Be brave, okay? Okay.
DADDY : Oh, my God. Are you all right? ANNA
: It’s Rachel, Dad. Rachel started the fire. DADDY : What are you talking about?
ALEX
: She killed Mom. [holding Anna’s left hand
TC2
] Dad, I know you never listen to me, but you have to believe us
ANNA : She waited until you were out of town, and she drugged me, and she drugged Alex.
DADDY : What? ANNA : She was gonna kill us.
PD
Alex had to do it, Dad. She saved us. DADDY : Alex?
ANNA
: Alex, tell him.
DADDY : Anna, what are you saying? ALEX
: He can’t see it, Anna. He never will.
DADDY : Anna, you know what happened to your sister. ANNA
: Tell him, Alex.
ALEX : Don’t believe him.
DADDY : She died. ALEX
: No, don’t believe him.
DADDY : In the fire. It was a year ago. ALEX
: No He’s lying
DADDY : Alex is dead What have you done? ANNA
: Alex? [seeing Alex from the mirror
VS
but suddenly it changed to be her own reflection]
DADDY : Anna? Anna, what do you mean the fire wasn’t an accident? What happened that night? Tell me what happened that night
ANNA : [Flashback to the night when Matt was kissing her] Get away from
me [running away] datum no. 3701:11:01
In the example above, Anna’s father feels surprised for seeing her dress is covered with blood and the girl holds a kitchen knife which is also covered with
blood. When he asks his daughter to explain to him about what happened, the girl talks to unseen object instead of responding to him. Her father feels confused
about what she is talking about. When Anna starts to mention the name “Alex” as if the unseen object she is talking to is her dead elder sister, her father becomes
more confused. He thinks that it is impossible for someone to talk to a dead person. Then, the he tries to remind Anna that Alex died a year before. However,
in Anna’s thought, she is beside Alex and she is talking to her. Moreover, she insists Alex to explain about what happened. Here, it is rational that the father is
unable to see Alex because she does not actually exist. Alex’s appearance seen by Anna indicates that Anna experiences visual hallucination. Her condition under
hallucination makes her unable to respond reality properly. The content of Anna’s hallucination in this datum is still about her beloved person.
