A Gun for George is a 2011 short film starring, written and directed by Matthew Holness of Garth Marenghis Darkplace fame. It explores several of the same themes as the earlier work, but in a Darker and Edgier way.At one time, Terry Finch was a successful author of violent crime novels about "the Reprisaliser", a brutal vigilante bringing tough justice to the violent streets of Kent. But times and tastes changed, and Terry is down on his luck, reduced to living in a caravan near a power station and going door-to-door to local publishers, libraries and booksellers trying to sell old copies of his books. As a result of a hazily-defined incident in his past, Finch is not the most even-tempered of men to begin with, but when an old fan of his works leaves him a curiously bequeathment, it appears that the lines between fantasy and reality are about to blur even further for Terry...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Available from the Film4 website. | |

Author Avatar: "The Reprisaliser" is clearly one of these for Terry as a wish fulfilment figure. The character as depicted on the covers of the books is based on Terry himself, apparently because the publisher couldn't afford a model to base the character on. However, it gradually becomes clear that the Reprisaliser is based on Terry in darker ways as well. | |

Berserk Button: Terry is not incredibly stable at the best of times, but damaging or destroying one of his books is a guaranteed way to set him off. Also, insulting his car. Which makes sense, given it belonged to his deceased brother. | |

Cerebus Syndrome: Initially, Terry comes off like a lovable loser, and some humor is taken from his situation. By the end, nobody’s laughing. | |

The Alleged Car: Terry’s car, George, is a horrible junker, but he insists on trying to get it restored, over the protests of his mechanic. It’s in such rough shape because it was smashed up and used as an impromptu torture device by the gang that killed Terry’s brother. | |
