Plot

"4426" follows the story of three friends who travel to a remote island in the Maldives for a vacation. Upon arriving, they encounter a mysterious woman who warns them of a cursed area on the island known as "4426".

Ignoring the woman's warnings, the trio ventures into the cursed area and soon begins to experience a series of terrifying and inexplicable events. They are plagued by nightmares, strange visions, and hear strange sounds in the darkness. They begin to unravel as they struggle to survive.

As they attempt to find a way off the island, they come face-to-face with the source of the curse - a malevolent spirit that is determined to make them pay for their trespassing. The friends must fight to survive and break the curse before it's too late.

In a shocking climax, the truth behind the curse is revealed, and the friends must make a final, desperate stand against the vengeful spirit. The film ends with a chilling reminder that some places are better left unexplored, and some curses are not meant to be broken.
