Basically this movie is a remake of the movie The Bad Seed. The storm scene at the end is remarkably like the storm scene at the end of The Bad Seed, but with a different outcome. The element of tension is well-preserved while the many "accidents" happen to the principal characters and their friends. You are kept guessing up to nearly the end as to who is the person responsible for the "accidents". There is a remarkable similarity to a Greek tragedy, in that various characters have "fatal flaws." The doting father lets his daughter get away with murder. His new wife is wilfully blind to various clues. The husband's bitchy female business partner seems a prime suspect but she may be just bitchy, not homicidal.
