Phenomena (released in the USA as Creepers) has it all. For starters it's a Dario Argento film, so you know it's going to be twisted, but then throw in baby-faced Jennifer Connelly and Halloween's Donald Pleasence and jam them into a serial killer story about a girl with paranormal insect powers, an entomologist with a pet chimp, a deformed demon child, an all girl school in the Swiss alps and a soundtrack with not only Argento stalwarts Goblin, but also Motörhead and Iron Maiden. Besides the insane ending, Phenomena has probably the world's only 'young girl taking her friend the fly on a bus ride' ever put on film. I thought it was nice and bizzare and perfect for a trippy 80s horror flick. 8.5 larvae eating your flesh out of 10.
