Actually, we know next to nothing about the actual curse. What we do know is that people with it go hollow, and the entities seen in the opening cinematic look exactly like hollows. One of the theories to explain this is that, prior to the advent of fire, all non dragon beings were hollow, and the souls acquired from the fire made them into something else, be it a God, a Witch, a Human, or Dead. The curse could very well simply undo this, returning an undead to the hollowed form they would have had before the fire came along.
