THE COMPANY WE KEEP -- Serial Killer-Inspired Chiller Starring Eric Roberts and Cary Mark -- NOW ON VOD

There's a missing girl hiding in his room…and she wants to meet his mom.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, May 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Get ready to unlock the door to one of the most chilling thrillers of the year. The Company We Keep, an unsettling new drama inspired by the crimes of infamous serial killer Ed Kemper, debuts May 27, on major streaming platforms from Random Media and MarkEd films. Featuring a hauntingly resonant performance from award-winning actor Cary Mark and a strong supporting turn by Hollywood veteran Eric Roberts, The Company We Keep is a character-driven story blending true crime, personal trauma, and suspense for a gripping watch that sticks with you. Set in a small Ohio town, the film follows Carter Holcomb, a man recently released into the care of his abusive mother, whose life spirals again when he discovers a missing girl hiding in his bedroom—launching a tense chain of events involving secrets, survival, and suspicion.

Also starring Natalie Duch, Sharron Jordan, and Kenny Santiago Marrero, The Company We Keep has already made waves on the festival circuit—earning Best Actor wins for Cary Mark at the Milan, Florence, and Shockfest Film Festivals, and Best Director for Jeff C. Edelstein at the London Film Awards. The second feature from Edelstein and actor Cary Marks’ MarkEd Productions, The Company We Keep was inspired by the real-life crimes of Ed Kemper, the 'Co-ed Killer,' whose chilling actions in the '70s still extensively influence much of today’s true crime fiction.
