Infidel Number One Posted Jul 27, 2004
As is usually the case with films, the Latin in Event Horizon is all wrong.
In the film we hear :
'Liberate me' = Free me (you guys)!
and
'Liberate tutame ex inferis' = Free 'tutame' out of hell ('tutame' is nonsense.)
Instead it should be:
Serva te ab infernis = Save yourself from hell.
Servate vos ab infernis = Save yourselves from hell.
You might use 'a Tartaro' instead of 'ab infernis' since Tartarus is the very nastiest part of the underworld.
