I also strongly agree with this. The thing that bothered me so much when I watched The Exorcist for the first time was that the girl all these horrible, horrible things were happening to was as old as my little sister.
It's kind of a "loss of innoccence" type horror movie, a very forceful one. The thing about 'Beginning' was you just don't feel as bad or sickened when it happens to a grown woman, because you see bad things happen to adults in every other horror movie. The original dared to push the limits.
