"A journalist's childhood trauma surfaces when a mother claims that her son was abducted by aliens."
Not deserving of its rating. Anyone giving this snoozefest more than one star is being extremely generous. Nothing about this film makes it worth investing 90 minutes of your life. Boring characters and bad acting ending with a ridiculous "alien" encounter. This is not even a decent made for TV movie. I can not believe a studio invested their money in the making of this film. You've been warned. Only positive thing I can say about this experience is fortunately it was free. Do not waste your time or dollars.

Total waist of time. I'm usually not one to write a review but this was honestly horrible. VERY drawn out and nothing happens the ENTIRE movie. Its not because of the fact that there's no definite answer to whether he really is being abused and whether his mom is crazy... but just simply because nothing happens. It's cheesy, hardly makes sense, no jumps, scares, or special effects or graphics...
Hardly even a plot/storyline at all!
***Entire movie= She claims he was abducted. He claims he needs to go home. The end.*** (and btw, the ending is the worst part of the entire movie, or the best depending on how you look at it...Lol)

Very interesting film, love thrillers and mixed genre movies. So cool to see Alaina Huffman and Osric Chauu!! Big supernatural fan, so it was great to see Gadreel and Kevin Tran all in the same movie. A captivating thriller that sucked me in and still has me thinking. The story really pulled me in, really liked the abduction stuff. This movie takes a lot of twists and turns which keeps you guessing........There's a lot of tense moments and I really loved the pace of the story. The kid was excellent and he gave me goosebumps every time. I do have some questions about the ending but overall a fun watch.
Rented this on prime and it was not what I was expecting, this indie film really has a lot of religious symbolism blended together with alien theology. The cast was really good but the budget on this is low. The tension is high and it made me uncomfortable at times. The ending really makes me wonder. The film pushes what you would expect from an "alien abduction" movie. It's not typical but it does a good job at keep you engaged. The actor playing the kid was solid, really liked his performances. The mom is a crazy person. The pacing moves fast and the music really pulls you in. Overall, it's pretty good.
Was NOT expecting to like JONAH as much as I did. The plot twists and turns and you really have no idea what to expect with each captivating sequence. The cinematography was both beautiful as it was mysterious, and the actors deserve credit for delivering the narrative (especially JONAH himself, a rare talent) to a dramatic conclusion that will leave you wanting more. While trying not to spoil the ending, it makes complete sense to me that there is already buzz about this movie on social media, all the different ways to interpret the masterful ending.
Make no mistake, JONAH is a thinking person's movie - satisfying the appetite of both conspiracy theorists and movie goers alike.
