Rainbow Man (1949)

Yuri Kobata is the main suspect of a murder/arson case. School friend Mimi Simikai and her boyfriend Ryousuke Akashi start an investigation to prove Yuri’s innocence. Yuri’s alibi leads to the mysterious Maya house located in the middle of nowhere. The creepy Maya family who lives there consists of a deranged painter, a cat lady, and a man researching spectral lights. Slowly people begin dying while yelling the words “rainbow, rainbow, rainbow!” The mystery unravels into more than Mimi and Ryousuke bargain for. Filmed in black and white, but in a unique sequence, a rainbow appears in color before each murder in the movie.

Based on a 1947 story by romance/detective novelist, Kikuo Tsunoda (Tsubanari Ronin and Dokuro-sen). Special visual effects were provided by cinematographer, Tatsuyuki Yokota and the legendary Eiji Tsuburaya. All topped off with a music score by Akira Ifukube!
