Sinking in example sentence
R.G. Arledge's lax, ham-fisted direction strikes out in every conceivable department, thereby sinking this leaden bomb to an unforgivably schlocky sub-level of rank amateurishness: the sluggish pacing, putrid acting, wafer-thin cardboard characters, ill-judged stabs at lowbrow humor, the huge letdown creature (it's some heavy-stepping zhlub in a rubber ghoul mask and black gorilla costume), weak off-screen killings, and dissatisfying sudden'n'senseless ending all leave a great deal to be desired.
