Blood and wounds: Robert Smith in new video “The 13th”
Scary! Beautiful women are Robert’s victims in the video
A strange scene in an isolated motel in Mexico: strung-out junkies creep down corridors, transvestites dance, and prostitutes wait for their customers on huge water beds. The TV newsreader reports that there is a killer terrorising the area who has caused a bloodbath in twelve hotels already, and now it’s feared that the murderer will strike again. Seconds later a bizarre figure enters the room: turquoise frilly shirt, mouth smeared with blood and blood-soaked bandages around the wrists. It’s the killer, searching for new victims … That’s how the video for the new single “The 13th” starts, as the relaunch for English New Wave band The Cure after a three year break. Robert, who plays the killer in the clip, explains, “The story is based on a true event. When we were living in a motel during our South American tour in 1993 (wrong year), there really was a mass murderer going round.” Smith is made for the role of the mad killer. “I love strange characters, everything normal bores me,” he says. The Cure start their world tour on 21 May, in the autumn the group will then be live in Germany.
