The independent movie Apparition (IMDB) (formerly Remorse) was filmed on location at the Penrose Strawbridge House for about 3 weeks in June 2013. About 85 percent of the story is set at the farmhouse with the rest in the Horsham/Hatboro area including Mann Road and at Village Hardware in Hatboro.

Directed by Quinn Saunders, Apparition is a psychological thriller about an architect from Philadelphia, Doug (played by Bucks County native Jody Quiqley), his fiancée Lori (south Jersey’s Katrina Law, and their new friend Jaime (Lili Bordan).

The Penrose Strawbridge House stars as the old farmhouse that Doug and Lori intend to restore.

The film also features local Hatboro actor Thomas Roy and producer Jon Lutz from Bucks County.

Lori, in the film, is an artist and the walls of the house were adorned with beautiful art works loaned to the production by local artists Lauren Acton, James McCutcheon, and Julianne Snyder.
