I thought this was too intersectional the first half. It's horror and trans rights. It's horror and feminism. It's horror and colonialism. Horror and suicidal media anonymity. Horror and porn/consent. But by the end,  I felt horrified at all these concepts, indeed, tinged like the House, tinged like the walls. I picked this up because of House of Leaves,  I like slow, creeping, haunted houses that unsettle. Even though this went a different direction,  I "liked" it. Ali(ce) and Ila were two halves of the same coin, their own palindrome.
