Warning: Spoilers
It's 1991, Robert Rodriguez is in his mid-20s and casts a whole bunch of his siblings for his very first movie, a nine-minute short film on a normal brother-sister relationship which takes a turn for the supernatural. It's in black and white just like the majority of his trademark film Sin City roughly 15 years later. When two siblings fight outside the house, the girl falls hard and awakes realizing something happened with her head when her brain hit the ground and all of a sudden she's able to move things with the power of her mind. She uses the newly-acquired ability to go full rampage on her brother and exact her revenge. However, in doing so, she falls again shortly after and may have lost her power again? Or has she?

Bedhead is a decent, occasionally funny effort that doesn't really hold a candle to much of what Rodriguez has done afterward though. Actually, I think it's a pretty nice watch for children even, maybe more than for adult, who may find the eating of a cockroach, the girl constantly flying through the air etc. funnier than people our age group. Recommended to Rodriguez completionists, otherwise you can give this one a pass.
