SPOILERS AHEAD
Well it`s not really spoilers but it may take interest from you the viewer.This horror thriller is well filmed.The camera work,the sound and the acting has credibility.The only bad thing i must say is about the idea-mix from other movies.Any of you who have seen such movies like Event Horizon(hell vision),In the Mouth of Madness(writer from hell),The Omen(satan`s baby),Antropophago(A.K.A. The Grim Reaper)-( the pregnant woman belly scene and the self opening belly with hands)must see the ideas that this writer take from those movies.He must be a great Sam Neill fan IMO.
As you see my english is not perfect but i hope you understand that this film is a rip-off.It`s well acted and directed but i was never surprised during the viewing.Too much predictable.Gory for nothing and shocking at some point.The church seen is terribly long for no purpose.
An overall 5.0 on 10...only for those young couple in search of a thrill.

Plot summary
One day, for no apparent reason, a cop kills 11 children. The same day, horror novelist Thomas Roy tries to commit suicide after cutting his fingers. At first glance, nothing seems to link the two events – until Dr. Paul Lacasse, a disillusioned psychiatrist, takes over the case. Prompted by his colleague Jeanne, a fan of Thomas Roy, Dr. Lacasse investigates the writer’s past. Hounded by a gossip columnist, Dr. Lacasse uncovers a series of troubling facts that bolster his convictions about the case. As he tries to reassemble the pieces of the puzzle in order to better treat the famous writer, Dr. Lacasse is dragged further and further into a series of events, with terrifying consequences.

Good but in my opinion a little cliche.
French Canadian homage to early Cronenberg (amongst others)
Bad reviews here just don't give this movie a chance ! It's Eric Tessier's first feature lenght film, so sure it has some beginner's mistakes (mostly continuity) but as such, it's no different and in fact VERY reminiscent of David Cronenberg's early films (SHIVERS, RABID) to which Tessier obviously pays homage and gets inspiration from (along with other horror classics already mentioned in the reviews here). So as a first effort, it's quite good and more than worth a look as an early example of Quebec's Horror renaissance of the years 2000 ( including even better titles like ST MARTYRS DES DAMNÉS/ST MARTYRS OF THE DAMNED (2005) and LES 7 JOURS DU TALION/7 DAYS (2010) which, like SUR LE SEUIL, is also inspired from a novel by Quebec's favourite horror writer Patrick Sénécal).
