This Spanish short film came out in 2015; its director uploaded it to YouTube and Vimeo in 2017. A shorter version was later released on Crypt TV in 2018 (when I first saw it) and on Alter in 2019.
An old woman is reading a bedtime story to her grandson. When she finishes, he begs her to leave the light on in his room. He says "Sam" will visit him again, and that Sam told him "Hada" would come for him (because he just lost his last baby tooth). So... I guess Hada is like a horror version of the tooth fairy. Of course, the boy's grandmother doesn't believe any of this, though after she turns off the light, she does investigate... and finds nothing. So she leaves her grandson alone in his dark room. He grabs a flashlight... and from that point on I don't want to divulge any details. I'll just say there are a series of jump scares that are nightmarish AF. (The film kind of reminds me of another horror short, Lights Out... but this one is even creepier, if that's possible.) So, if you like being scared, I definitely recommend this. If you don't, then I definitely recommend avoiding it.
