Couldn't she just had gone to a neighbour for help?
Maybe Gloria's or someones.
There wouldn't have been such a dramatic ending though lol.

She couldn't get out of the apartment. Harry put a chain on the door.
shareYes, but Roat didn't chain the door until all else had failed and he had to resort to scaring Suzy into giving him the doll. There were plenty of opportunities before that for Suzy to just go to a neighbor, or better yet CALL THE POLICE. Haha...in the play she doesn't call the police because the cons make her believe Sam is suspected of murder. But in the movie, Suzy even tells Gloria "Those men are not police officers!" So, why would she not just lock the men out of her apartment? Call the police, or send Gloria to the cops instead?
This is sort of a glaring plot hole, since otherwise Suzy seems pretty smart.

She only has ONE neighbor who is home and that is Gloria who is exactly who she immediately goes to for help. And the minute she finds out that Mike is a bad guy she tries to call the police but gets interrupted by Mike, and during this encounter, Roat cuts the phone line which she finds out as soon as she then tries to call the police again after they've left. Next time you criticize a movie for having plot holes you might want to watch the movie and pay attention or stick to Teletubbies if you can't follow a basic plot.

One neighbor was away, leaving only Gloria. Now why they didn't immediately go to Gloria's apartment and phone the police after everyone left I'll never know.
