[[WMG:Kayako was just trying to have fun in the photograph room in the second movie.]]
She doesn't really understand how photographs work, so she tried to ask Isen for help. Unfortunately she's very shy, and her nerves got the better of her, so she killed him. When Allison enters the room, the pictures on the wall have all turned into pictures of Kayako. Those are selfies she took of herself. They are hanging from the wall because she's trying to develop them. She's learning.

[[WMG:The curse is a ghostly blood splatter.]]
Okay, so you know how if you got crushed by something big enough, not even a single recognizable remnant of your corpse would remain? You'd just be like, ''splat''. And then liquidy gory stuff would be everywhere.

You know how also Kayako died "in the grip of a powerful rage?" What if the rage was so powerful that it crushed her soul in its grip? No recognizable traces of her mind or emotions left in the resulting mess. Just, ''splat''. Ectoplasm everywhere.

That's why her ghost almost never says anything, or has any discernible motives. That's why it sticks around in one place, repeats everything she did in life, and kills people indiscriminately. And that's why all her family members' ghosts seem to share some kind of creepy hive mind. Because her soul and her family's souls aren't in one piece anymore. They're just, ''splat''. Strewn all over the walls and floor of the house. Just boiling and mushing together. They're no longer individual spirits, just one indistinct, integrated mess. One with one another. One with the house. One with chaos, disorder, and rage.

And that's also why the curse follows people even after they leave the house, and why it swallows them up and uses them after they die. Could ''you'' wade through a pool of pureed organs and not get any on you? Didn't think so.
