The film was released theatrically in the United States on August 11th, 2017.

The film initially takes place sometime in the 1940s and involves the Mullins family. Samuel Mullins is a toymaker who constructs a doll for his daughter, Annabelle "Bee" Mullins. The young girl's life is tragically cut short, but this is only the beginning of the Mullins' problems. A demon takes possession of the doll as a jumping point for taking hold of a living vessel. Samuel Mullins manages to contain the evil presence for twelve years, but the entity is set loose after Samuel and his now-disfigured wife invite several orphan girls to stay at their home. A girl name Janice, who suffers from Polio, becomes the next target for the demon.
