Comment:

I think the tape was already in the cabin (just was) and then the kids found it and tried to tape the football game on it (they didn't know what was on it) but when they went to see the game, the girl's vision was on it (as before I think).

The explanation to the rest of the tape playing after seven days is this:
The girl saw things how they happened and such (images sent by the devil?) until the part she is thrown into the well which is then closed (forming the ring, which also symbolizes the copying of the tape to survive, making a cycle - ring). Then after 7 days the girl dies and comes out of the well. So only seven days after they see the first part, the girl comes out to kill them.

When they die they look like that because they are rotten like she was (after being in the well after some time). The fly also symbolises rotness.

The girl survived 7 days because she didn't sleep or feel tired, so she couldn't drown unless she wanted to. She probably died of hunger.

I'm shivering right now...

Another thing:
The water glass and jug left half full could symbolize the thing her mother did: She almost killed her with the bag. (This came to me after remembering some guy wrote her mom made a half-ass job when trying to kill her. Elementary, my dear Holmes.)

This is a great movie, a movie for intelligent people, very well directed. I applaud the mind that created the original ideia for it, even though it has to be somewhat disturbed.
