Cliffhangers are sometimes used in films when a sequel or prequel is wanted. They often feature the main character in a precarious situation, or are confronted with a shocking revlation. This can entice the audience to keep watching in order to see how the situation resolves.
The most commonly thought of cliffhangers are those in soap operas. At the end of each episode the soap is drawn to a close using a cliffhanger to make sure the audience will watch the following episode to see how the situations pan out.
