This was especially important to see done right.

For someone who is as big a fan of the Halloween holiday as I am, this was especially important to see done right. Too often when a film actually does take place on the holiday it lacks the depth that is presented here.

I have extracted some from the one of reviews of "Trick 'r Treat (2007)" on IMDB.
I'd like to know where I can find the object of "to see."
Thank you in advance for your help.

It seems to be what the passive subject "this" refers to, though that cannot be said without context. It might be a whole sentence/statement which is referred to.
