knife covered with blood. A few minutes later, their father comes. He is surprised and he asks Anna to explain him about what is happening. Finally, Anna tells him
that Alex killed Rachel because the woman was going to kill the sisters. Being confused, her father reminds Anna that Alex died in the boathouse fire along with
their mother. Anna looks down to find that she is not holding her sisters hand, but the knife which was used to kill Rachel. Anna is the one who actually killed
Rachel. Anna starts to remember the whole real events. Finally, her father sends her back to the mental institution.
B. Previous Research Findings
This is not the first research which analyzed schizophrenia since it is not a new disease. There have been many previous research which have schizophrenia
as the research topic. One of them is a piece of research which was conducted by Pindhaningtyas Nareswari 2012 as undergraduate thesis in Yogyakarta State
University entitled “A Psycholinguistic Analysis of Schizophrenic Speech Reflecting Hallucination and Delusion in The Caveman’s Valentine Movie”.
Nariswari’s research tried to investigate the characteristics and the speech abnormalities of schizophrenic character in The Caveman’s Valentine movie
named Romulus. The characteristics of a schizophrenic investigated in her research were the kinds of hallucination and delusion. She used International
Mental Health Research Organization’s theory 1996 to analyze both of them. Meanwhile, she used an instrument which was proposed by Peter F. Liddle called
Thought and Language Index TLI to assess the schizophrenic speech abnormalities.
Two conclusions were drawn in Nariswari’s research. The first one was that Romulus experienced four types of speech abnormalities. They were looseness,
perseveration of ideas, peculiar use of words, and non-logical reasoning peculiar logic. The second one was that there are two out of five types of hallucination
− visual and auditory
− and two out of four types of delusion
− paranoid delusion and
delusion of reference −
which occurred in Romulus’ speeches. Although this research and the previous one have the same research topic and
the same theory to access FTD phenomena, both research still have three differences. The first one comes from the data source: the previous research used
The Caveman’s Valentine movie while this research used The Uninvited movie.
The second one comes from the theories used in analyzing the hallucination and delusion phenomena. The previous research used International Mental Health
Research Organization’s theory 1996 while this research used Veague’s theory 2007. The third one comes from the objectives of the research where it also
influences the presentation of the data sheets. The previous research put hallucination and delusion data into the same data sheet and it put the data of
speech abnormalities into separated data sheet. Meanwhile, this research put all of the data from hallucination, delusion, and FTD into a single data sheet. This
decision was made because, in some occasions, two out of these three items came together in the same datum.
