he is a sicko ive seen the movie. and actually thought it was alright, for a horror film of that extent, but when i found out it was based on true events i looked it up and found out ALOT more was true than i expected and that the movie was actually alot calmer than the realness of the whole tragedy. that man is sick. and im glad hes in prison. i hope his followers realize the horror of the whole thing and leave him, i know some of them are still following, which is sad, but you cant change someones beliefs.

I think I figured it was a horror film and I don't like horror films. In a way I guess I was correct about it being a horror film, if one based on reality.
I don't understand. The page says that he was active between 1977 and 1989, but the movie was made in 1972. How is that possible? Wopr 00:40, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- The TV movie was made in 2002. The 1972 theatrical movie of the same name is completely unrelated. I've edited the text. -Will Beback 06:29, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
This Roch Theriault's biography have exactly the same lacks than the supposed biographical movie on him, which focus only on the period he lived in Ontario, which represent a very small and negligible fraction of his life. Canadian's Quebec-bashing is alive and well, and apparently they now even appropriate our crackpots.
Roch Theriault grew up as most Quebecers in a rigid catholic environment. He founded a clinic to stop smoking in the 1960s in Beauce region, Quebec. During the flower power movement, he gather a band of followers which he brought in a commune in 1972 at St. Jogues, near Percé, in the Gaspe Peninsula, Quebec. Most of what is happening in the movie occured at that commune betwwen 1972 to early-1980s.
I remember seeing him on CBGAT-TV Matane, a local Gaspe area television, by the end of the 1970s when he became locally known by being show as a kind of sympatic guru, and one day we could saw him around 1978-1979 on local news predicting the end of the world caused by "rain of ice blocks as tall as automobiles".
Interested by that original figure, media brought interest on the sect/commune, which end up to discover the horror of the sect, which flee to Ontario to escape public knowledge by the end of the 1980s.
A serious cleaning is needed here to have an accurate knowledge of him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joatamon (talk • contribs) 17:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

- Can you suggest some sources that cover this part of the subject's life? Can you add what they say? If so, go for it. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 18:55, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
