Evil Recap: Landfall


I’m going to be thinking about the scene with Sheryl and her daughter and granddaughters for a long time.

They end up escaping unscathed — although Lexis does come into pretty close contact with a demon — only to face the wrath of their mother, who now has to go next door, introduce herself to the new neighbor, and apologize by way of one of her faux-homemade cakes (I really need to know how often she’s buying those things), all in the middle of the raging storm, no less. Ben — whose anti-jinn fedora might be growing on me … Aasif Mandvi has the charisma to pull it off, and that’s just facts — knows exactly how to back up the sewage lines that connect Kristen’s duplex and flood Leland’s house with copious amounts of shit. He tells him that he isn’t sure what he believes anymore, that he doesn’t feel anything when he prays, but one thing he knows in his heart to be true is John 15:13: “Greater love hath no man than laying down his life for his friends.” God may not forgive David, and he might lose his soul in order to do it, but if Father Ignatius could’ve prevented Matt’s death, even if it meant killing someone, he would do it.
